I LOVE this series!!!!!
I posted this on Goodreads but, of course, I have to blog about it. I picked up a book for free on Amazon a couple years ago, right after I got my Kindle. I always had something else to read though and never ended up reading it til about a month ago. It's called Avempartha. I started reading it and was hooked immediately. When I was done, I saw that this was a series and I had actually just read #2! So I went on a search for #1 called The Crown Consipracy. I was having trouble finding it and all other books (there are 6 of them). I went to the authors site and saw the words "out of print". GERR! Frowny face! But THEN I saw below that when the author was picked up by a publisher, the 6 books were put into 3 volumes (two for each one). YESSSSS!!! So I went out to find this book - and happily all three volumes are released as well so I don't have to wait to read them all :)
You will like this book if you like Medieval times, fantasy stories, and....The Lord of the Rings, I guess if I had to name something similar. The books follow Hadrian and Royce through some thrilling adventures (I dare say I was quite suspensed by many of them! Is suspensed a word? I just made it up probably). There is a humor, suspense (as mentioned), sword fighting, rescuing, a cool wizard, dwarves, elves, thieves, and a Gilarabrywn. Say what now?? What is that? Well...you'll have to read it to find out :)
I'm super excited to get the other two volumes and get lost!
I've got them on hold at the library now. Looks like they've got some promise. I look forward to being suspensed.
