#The Riyria Revelations

[vaguelyaperson]

the worst part of being a voracious reader is reading all these amazing series that deserve a vibrant fandom and movie/show deals yesterday, but there are only a few passionate fans doing their best and like five fanarts. mother I crave more attention for my book blorbos

friendly reminder that hadrian punched gaunt, the guy who at the time he was supposed to be protecting, for shit talking arista and then went on to say it was a reflex

Micheal J Sullivan is everything Brandon Sanderson pretends to be, and he needs more credit for it

@alyssmainwarning I'll make a new post because the other one got quite long!

I really liked Hilfred too. He is very loyal, and it seemed almost cruel the way Arista toyed with him in the end. I know she liked him well enough,and I genuinely think she would have tried to marry him if she could, but she would have been miserable I think. She doesn't really know him - and he doesn't really know her, despite following her around for so long. There is a lot of hero worship and resentment going on both ways.

But he is definitely a good character!!

What do you think about Amelia and Sir Breckton? I really like them, but overall the series was a bit too "straight" in the sense that everyone hooked up with someone of the opposite gender at some point lol

(except for my queen Modina, who refused to marry that douchebag, adopted a mir and became the most powerful woman in that world 😎)

.... convince me to read Riyria Revelations?

>:)

If you like stories that feature adventure, mystery, action, and very close platonic relationships, then you will love these books. The two main characters are a mercenary/thief duo, Hadrian and Royce. Hadrian is the big, kind, golden retriever type, and Royce is the slinky, grumpy, paranoid cat type who is unwillingly being dragged into developing a conscience by his partner (best friend in the entire world) Hadrian lol. The dialogue and writing is hilarious, there are SO many touching scenes between Hadrian and Royce (and other many characters!), and the author isn’t afraid to have moments where a character says “I love you” platonically and sincerely. There are also two female characters later in the series (starts second book iirc but could be sooner), whose friendship I just absolutely adore. (They aren’t the only female characters btw. I just realized I might’ve made it sound that way haha)

(And while i highlight the platonic relationships, there are also romantic ones as well lol.)

So please read them!! Idk why it seems like so many people are sleeping on this series because it seems like so many people on here’s cup of tea…

I was just getting used to the laughs and easygoing narrative in Theft of Swords and then I was hit by this moment!!

i was not prepared at all and may have teared up a little

Riyria Chronicles is so funny because Royce and Hadrian never set out to antagonise the church but that’s what happens. Every single time. Half the time they don’t even realise it

[leahfiiisher]

You guys have no idea how frustrating it is to read a series that has literally no fandom whatsoever. I cannot be allowed to deal with these feelings alone but there is NOTHING I tell you NOTHING
