A great follow up to The Crown Tower, that dives deeper into Melengar politics and schemes. Royce and Hadrian at their best, and Gwen also grows into a very interesting character.Plus, we're finally introduced to the younger version of the Royal Family of Melenger and other familiar characters as well. A very cohesive, enjoyable, and fun installment in the Chronicles series.4-4.25/5Originally reviewed at Bookwraiths ReviewsThe Rose and the Thorn is the second book in the Riyria Chronicles by Michael J. Sullivan. It - like the previous book, The Crown Tower - is a prequel to the Riyria Revelations. But unlike most prequels, Mr. Sullivan has done something absolutely superb here: created a tale that both satisfies as a back story and excels as a stand alone, page turner. As the novel begins, a year has passed since the events in The Crown Tower. Royce and Hadrian have been
Reading Riyria is like coming home from a long and tiring journey. It gives me that feeling of comfort, peace and total relaxation. I simply love the two, Royce and Hadrian, their adventures and humor. They are so different from one another and yet they complement each other perfectly. This volume develops major events from Riyria Revelations (view spoiler)[among them the fire in which Aristas mother died, the plot against Amrath between Braga and Saldur, how Hilfred saved Arista and became her
4.5⭐ (Very close to 5)Even better than the first book. Theres something so addictive about the Riyria books. Hadrian and Royce never disappoint. The dialogues, the hilarious back and forth, the story overall - I live for them! The cutest, most adorable bromance next to Locke and Jean. If TCT was more about the introduction of Hadrian and Royce, this one was more about their friendship and them becoming the bona fide team that is Riyria. There was a lot more action and drama here, and answers to
This was a super enjoyable installment in the Riyria series. It covers a whole bunch of stuff including why Hadrian and Royce chose the name Riyria to represent them. It mainly focuses around the plot to kill the Royal family of Medford and Royce making sure that the ladies of Medford House are safe from harm. We also get to met Albert Winslow for the first time. His first appearance is definitely a memorable one! This was filled with all the action and humor we have come to expect from the
Quick paced, real tension and character development. Hadrian & Royce were not the real big roles in this one. While they are still a big chunk of the story, Hilfred really takes the center role. The story is quick to unfold and while some parts were foreseeable, they still delivered. The danger is real, as the protagonists and antagonists both show. While Hadrian is rubbing off on Royce, he can still show how ruthless he was/is. One of my favorite books from this universe so far
