About this listen
Best-selling author Michael J. Sullivan’s mesmerizing Riyria Revelations series has found a welcome home with fans of magic, clashing swords, and daring heroes. This second volume finds Royce and Hadrian on a quest to enlist the southern Nationalists to aid the ever-weakening kingdom of Melengar. Royce suspects an ancient wizard is manipulating them all, but to find the truth he’ll have to decipher Hadrian’s past—a past Hadrian wants to keep secret.
Rise of Empire contains Nyphron Rising and The Emerald Storm, books 3 and 4 of Riyria Revelations.

Enjoyable Medieval Spy Story
Gripping, largely unpredictable, Great to see familiar characters with new challenges, and see some back story for Royce and Hadrian and even Arista. Favourite bits were Hadrian leading a team in a goblin fight dome, and Arista coming of age. I think four or five prison escapes were one too many. I'm hooked and starting the next one.
Enough variation in voice to recognize 5 - 10 characters by sound and give each a little character.

Strong writing and great listening
A really excellent continuation of the narrative commenced in the first book. Strong characters, an intriguing plot combine with wonderful description and an excellent narration. The third volume awaits for further immersion in this beautifully crafted series.
So good to discover another outstanding author.

characters feels artificial
Characters don't seem to express much emotion. I don't feel attached to any of them.

Trials and tribulations with more female pov
Our heroes and POV characters face further trials and tribulations in this one and at times it felt traumatic - perhaps not as lighthearted and swashbuckling as the first book but still well-written with a marvelous performance. Particular attention is spent on our female heroines and I enjoyed their growth, although wasn't too keen on the character of the empress's maid.

definitely a series you will listen to again
i love it just as much as the first one
the only minor thing that got me is that all the boat talk makes it quite hard to discern what is actually happening

Likeable characters and immersive storyline.
Love the sequel to the series. Characters progression and growth as well as excellent world building. Enjoyed every minutes of it, and can’t wait for the final book and conclusion of the grand adventure.
