3.5 out of 5 stars
I was very much into the first two installments of this series, disinterested by the middle two, and pleased/content with the final two. Author Michael J. Sullivan certainly finished with a flourish after laying it all on the line in Percepliquis – a satisfying final volume of an enjoyable series. Sullivan clearly excels at plotting out long-term story arcs filled with compelling twists and turns. This bodes well for the remaining books in his Legends of the First Empire series, due out over the next few years.

Take a bow Michael. With this book you have done what very few writers manage. Give an ending which the series deserves. Few that come to mind are all classic (LOTR, Dark Tower, Mistborn) and this series rank right up there with the way it ended. I guess the key to this is managing to keep the suspense going for long enough while dropping enough clues for the reader to say “Wow how come I never realised this?” In the end all the parts are wrapped up nicely with some beautiful touches that stood out like the end of Magnus's story. This book also results in me adding the prefix of “Highly” to my previous “recommended reading”. A must for all the fantasy guys out there here are two protagonists who leave a mark indelibly. Riyria you beauty!
