After reading Michael J Sullivan's progress reports and seeing that the next series is likely set after Riyria Revelations I would like to conclude that Elan has the funniest reading order. So you start with the fourth series chronologically. Then you read the third one (but actually you can read this series whenever). Then you go to the chronologically earliest series, then the second one, then only do you go to the fifth. Hold on I gotta draw a diagram

SPOILERS

the funniest thing I realised after reading Nolyn is that Royce Melborn is not only a descendant of Nephron and Nolyn, but also of Moya 'shoot first, ask questions of the corpse' and Tekchin -'Mr. I fell hard for her when she cursed me out' Gallantian.

I mean, this explains so much about our boy.

Y'all reading Riyria, then Legends, then Rise and Fall is like watching Gary Oldman act in both Batman and the Fifth Element to me. It's like "ooh! This author writes a really good action adventure" but then in legends it's like, "oh wow, he can also write a stunning long form epic" and then you read Rise and Fall and go "and apparently he also writes the most gut wrenching Greek tragedies. Ow." The range Michael J Sullivan has in his writings is absolutely amazing to me, and I love that all of them still somehow sound like Sullivan throughout.

"Don't you see?" She addressed the entire room. "We either fight here and win, or die trying, because there won't be anything left if we fail. This is the moment. This is the crucial point where the future of yet unborn generations will be decided either by our action or inaction. For centuries to come, people will look back at this time and rejoice at our courage or curse our weakness."

Just finished Riyria Revelations!

And… omg!

These books were worth reading! I love how all of it just comes together at the end. Will recommend for anyone who likes easy fantasy read with captivating plot.

I have only one issue with Arcadius and Gwen thing…. It just doesn’t sit right with me for some reason…. And I was kind disappointed by it…

Otherwise it was a great read! Haven’t been so captivated by books series in years!

"I only learned one thing - that I, too, would have died if it weren't for this man. This man who scared me so much I vomited out of fear. He protected me."

Royce: Am I a good person? No. Hadrian: But are you trying to be better? Royce: Absolutely not.

reading the legends of the first empire after the riyria revelations is so much fun bc you encounter things that are mentioned in riyria but in a completely different context

anyway I'm finishing up age of swords and losing my fucking mind over the gilarabrywn
