Sullivan<\/a><br \/>\nMy rating: 5 of 5 stars<br \/>\nAll I can say is wow! This story keeps getting better and better! Just when I think Michael cannot fool me, he twists the story when I least expect it. This is the first book of the series that really leaves the reader with a huge cliffhanger. There is so much I want to talk about but I don&#8217;t want to spoil it for anyone so I&#8217;ll reserve my spoiler discussions for the Riyria Revelations group at Goodreads.com. <\/p>\n<p>What I will say is I was a skeptical reader when I read the first book of the series (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/4345290.The_Crown_Conspiracy_The_Riyria_Revelations_1_\" title=\"The Crown Conspiracy (The Riyria Revelations, #1) by Michael J.  Sullivan\">The Crown Conspiracy<\/a>), but it made me interested enough to read the second book (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/6342483.Avempartha_The_Riyria_Revelations_2_\" title=\"Avempartha (The Riyria Revelations,#2) by Michael J.  Sullivan\">Avempartha<\/a>) which really hooked me on the story, then came <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/6527941.Nyphron_Rising_The_Riyria_Revelations_3_\" title=\"Nyphron Rising (The Riyria Revelations, #3) by Michael J.

Can&#8217;t you stretch this out to 12 books like the Wheel of Time? Pretty please?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Emerald Storm by Michael J.
