I did like the first book more than this one, but Rise of Empire is definitely a good read. I can't wait to know what happens with Hadrian and Royce in the final book.
Like the first book, Rise of Empire has a good and fun plot built on standard fantasy tropes. The overarching narrative arc is more pronounced in this book as well, and is very intriguing. I'm excited to see how it all plays out in the final book. I was glad to see that Arista became a main character. A fun read!
4.5 stars.
What a ride for our main characters! This a super “worthy” sequel to the first book, as it adds a lot of background information about the characters, but still leaves some matters open to be answered, hopefully, in the next and final book.
I must admit that sometimes I got lost among all the direction changes and tricks taken by the characters, and I had to go back and see again what was happening, but overall I am very satisfied by the story, its unpredictability and its development.
I am very curious about how all the arc stories are going to end.
Darn it, Sullivan is just too good at drawing me in. And he comes up with the most unexpected twists!
