Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer. Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom. And Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people.

The answer lies across the sea in a faraway land populated by a reclusive and dour race who feel nothing but disdain for both Fhrey and mankind.

Ashok Vadal was once a member of the highest caste in all of Lok. As a Protector, he devoted his life to upholding the Law, rooting out those who still practiced the old ways and delivering justice with his ancestor blade Angruvadal. None was more merciless than he in stamping out the lingering belief in gods and demons among the casteless. His brutality was legendary and celebrated. But soon Ashok learned that his life to that point had been a lie. He himself, senior member of the Protector Order, was casteless. He had been nothing more than an unwitting pawn in a political game.

Publisher's Summary
A rising star in the fantasy genre, Michael J. Sullivan has built an ardent following for his Riyria Revelations saga, which draws to its epic conclusion in Heir of Novron.
On the holiday of Wintertide, the New Empire plans to burn the Witch of Melengar and force the Empress into a marriage of their own design. But they didn’t account for Royce and Hadrian finally locating the Heir of Novron—or the pair’s desire to wreak havoc on the New Empire’s carefully crafted scheme.
Heir of Novron contains Wintertide and Percepliquis, books 5 and 6 of Riyria Revelations.

AN EXCELLENT TRILOGY
This was the third book in The Riyria Revelations trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed this series.
All three books in this series are very long books, so if you are not into that....
Book 1 The Theft of Swords
Is 22 hours and deals with Royce and Hadrian mistakenly getting involved into this adventure
Book 2 Rise of Empire
Is 26 hours and the continuation of the story. I think it was an excellent book, but not as exciting as the first and third.
Book 3 This book, Heir of Novron
Is a long 31 hours, and brings the adventure all together
Sullivan has another series with some of the same characters, but so far I haven't listened.

A satisfying end to the Riyeria Chronicles
In these final two books, Michael J. Sullivan wraps up the adventures of Royce and Hadrian (Riyeria) and the arc of the story satisfies the fans: the (surviving) characters remain true to themselves even as they move on with their lives; the mystery driving the series from the beginning is explained (and enough clues are there for even me to figure out most of it ahead of time, but not in such a way that the characters seemed like dunces); and the journey to the end is packed with adventure and humor.
It's really hard to end a series, especially one with the type of characters that the reader can invest herself in and a world where fans can easily imagine further adventures for the beloved cast. Just look at the TV shows Lost or Battlestar Galactica. But the author does a great job of wrapping everything up in a natural way, with a coda that satisfies the fan's desire to know what happens to the characters after the adventures are over.
Again, the narrator was a huge contributor to making this series snappy and enjoyable. He slipped up in the voices once in awhile during extended dialogue, but his reading really brought the colorful world and its distinct characters to life.

A fitting conclusion
What made the experience of listening to Heir of Novron the most enjoyable?
The fact that the story continued on without any surprises or unbelievable twists that disrupted what had been previously told in the story.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Heir of Novron?
The most memorable moments are when the heroes are facing off agains the gilarabryn while trying to recover the horn and the final battle duel for control of the human and elven realms
Any additional comments?
I think Heir of Novron is a fitting conclusion to one of the best fantasy trilogies I have read in a long time. Yes, I still think there were too many different characters used for POV. Yes, I don't think that the "twists" were well disguised and were very predictable. But the fact that it is just a good story over comes these faults.This story is very classical for the genre. I think will be liked by anyone who has a taste for epic high fantasy stories that are fun with lots of action and intrigue.

Very Good
Would you consider the audio edition of Heir of Novron to be better than the print version?
Apples and oranges.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I liked them all in the end.
Which scene was your favorite?
The very last. It should have been predictable, but wasn't.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
You'll have to cast me in it first!
Any additional comments?
A touch of Ambercrombie. A touch of Sanderson. A touch of Salvatore. A touch of Feist.

Some good fantasy and a lot of plot
If you enjoy books like Game of Thrones, you will like this book more. Why do I compare the two storytellers? The settings are similar, but the writing is more positive and I actually like these characters, even the tainted ones. The story telling is over the top spectacular, and the turns and twists don't allow you to really know what's going to happen until after it does happen. The only thing you know is that everything turns out good in the end. The tension is how that happens. How will they get out of the next crazy situation. This will become a movie at some point. It just has to.
Start on the first book, The Crown Tower and then you can work your way through them all. Believe me when I say that if you start, you will finish all the books. You will have to, you won't have a choice.
Michael Sullivan is a great writer. When I say great, it's because he does everything right. Excellent descriptions, logical outcomes and great characters. The story becomes vivid and compelling.
Finally, the actual reading is beyond what you would expect. The voices and characterization are extraordinary.
This is an excellent series and if you are considering reading this author, you will not be disappointed.

Best Riyria Story Yet.
Heir of Novron takes the steam that was built from the last book and builds it into a wonderful and exciting ending. What begins as more of a buddy story in a fantasy setting ends as a top rate fantasy story. The author Micheal J. Sulivan seemed to grow as the story grows, and I am looking forward to future series from him as well as the new Ryria Chronicles books.
Narrator Tim Gerard Reynolds was solid as usual. I highly recommend this series.

Weakest of the series, but a good closer
Overall, I felt this was the weakest of the series, especially book 6. Seemed like the author opened too many narrative threads in the first 5 books and realized he hadn't closed them yet. So there's a lot of long info-dump portions, often masked in dialogue, but still quite long discussions of history and backstory, serving to tie up some loose ends. Makes for a bit of a slog as we approach the climax of the series.

An amazing story
Where does Heir of Novron rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The Ryria Revelations series in general is a rather strong series and the final book in the duality audiobook "Heir of Novron" is by far the best. Among movies you can often find depictions based on the excitement level defined by time, usually peeking around the point of no return.
Where some of my other favorite series typically gave higher highs, but also lower lows the final books ride on an overall high level albeit with fewer peaks, but very few low points.
The series is highly rated, and amongst books ive read/heard i would put the final book in my top 10
What was one of the most memorable moments of Heir of Novron?
There wont be any spoilers in this text and i am being deliberately vague
Though the primary plot point throughout the series can be reasoned by most sooner or later in the series, the final book still manages to throw curve balls that not only fit, but are immensely satisfying when discovered. For me personally swinging from suspected guesses to things i newer even considered.
The development and interaction between the characters grow and are also very good.
Myron also deserves his own special mention as his character is fantastic.
Have you listened to any of Tim Gerard Reynolds’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Tim Gerard does an excellent job through the entire series.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes

Great ending to the series
What did you like most about Heir of Novron?
This book brought the trilogy to a satisfactory conclusion. Some surprising and some satisfying deaths (!) and a nice twist to the tale towards the end.
The series as a whole is fairly gentle without deep character development or complex motivations, it is nevertheless a pleasant listen which had me finding excuses to keep listening to see what happens next; always a good sign.
Have you listened to any of Tim Gerard Reynolds’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Tim's performance was great as always. A few slip-ups where voices were mixed up for a few words but that reflects how distinct the main characters voices were.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
All the proper reactions to the perils and triumphs of the characters. A smile at the interplay between them.

Light-hearted fun
It's good, fun, light-hearted entertainment.
The narration is fine, though at times some of the characters sound almost a little too jolly for the moment.
It's worth listening to the whole series, as the thread is good and clues are given early on.

Such a phenomenal listen
Utterly excellent listen. The voice acting is the best I have ever come across with a compelling story arc verging on the epic.

Exceptional!!!!!!!!
A fantastic read, the whole trilogy is a wonderful magical tale following two thieves Royce Melbourne and Hadrian Blackwater, and their path from humble beginnings to, ( I'm not going to tell you, you will have to read them yourselves!!! ) needless to say once you pick up the first book, you will not want to stop until you have read all three!!!! Happy reading everyone!!!! ;0)

great collection.
came together nicely. wrap up at the end was a little over extended a little Lord of the Rings, if you know what I mean.
other than that 10 out of 10 from me.

Great finish to an awesome series!!!
I love Hadrian and Royce as characters and this has been a most enjoyable series; definitely one of those feel good fantasy tales that are so hard to come by these days.

Great close to a masterful story.
I'm sad to reach the end of this amazing story.
I haven't done much but listen to these books over the past weeks.
Brilliant character development and tension, making it easy to keep listening for hours on end.
I have listened to many books, I would highly highly recommend these 3 audiobooks to anyone looking for an escape into an epic fantasy story.
Well done to both the author and narrator, Brilliant Story.

I don't want it to be end
A fitting end to a grand story, spanning over 3000 years. Goodbye to beloved characters

Fantastic Series!
This would have to rate as one of my favourite series in a lifetime of reading! The characters are all so different but equally compelling and three dimensional. The plot is intriguing, with just enough of a hint to lead you to thinking you know what's about to happen: allowing you to feel clever, but not giving it away. Drama and humour wrapped up to be a great page turner! One of those series where you dread to read thealast paragraph because you just want another.

Love this conclusion to a great series
I read all of the Prequels first even though they were written later and is highly recommend doing it that way. Im now looking forward to more Michael J Sullivan

Review by Ada 11 and a half yrs old
PAUSE
I loved this book, and it's predecessors, and I reckon the storyline is great, but the story wouldn't pause! After listening to the first few chapters, mum called me into dinner and I tried to pause it, but the button didn't work! My only solution was to bookmark the spot, then go to the end and use the auto-stop to pause it.
CHARACTERS
All the characters were familiar to me the second time I read the book, so I could sort of sense what they were going to do a moment before they did it. I loved Hadrian's outrightness, kindness and honesty, Royce's cleverness, skill and dark moods and Arista's, well, just about everything about her.
BEFORE
Theft of Swords and Rise of Empire were both intrigueing, scary and funny. I like how Sullivan can make the plots as real as if they were unfolding like a map infront of you. I now only have one more thing to say, and it is;
great book
