The Death of Dulgath (The Riyria Chronicles #3)

I really loved the original six Riyria books but haven't loved the prequels quite as much. I described one of the earlier books (as published, not chronologically) as a rollicking good time, and I didn't quite feel that with The Death of Dulgath. The prequels just somehow feel meaner, and the relationship between Hadrian and Royce (far and away the best part about these books) isn't quite as developed. I felt especially bad about the deaths of two minor characters.
It has been 8 years since I read the previous book, and this is definitely a series that is helped by reading them one after another. Also, the time of Covid is probably affecting my enjoyment. I do recommend the series to fantasy lovers. Maybe it would help to start with the prequels and go from there.
I received a free ebook copy of The Death of Dulgath from Michael J. Sullivan and it's much appreciated.

As for "the relationship between Hadrian and Royce (far and away the best part about these books) isn't quite as developed." That's kinda by design.Understood! Reading the prequels first would definitely help - you can't miss something you don't yet know about. :)
As for "the relationship between Hadrian and Royce (far and away the best part about these books) isn't quite as developed." That's kinda by design. In the Riyria Revelations the two had been togehter for 10 years, and they were not only "well-acquainted with each other" but also "the best of buds"
In the Chronicle tales, I have to show how they met and yeah, at the beginning, they didn't like each other very much. So with each book they get "closer." I'm currently writing Drumindor now - (which is right about in the "middle" from a timeline standpoint. So they are definitely showing more bonds of friendship in this work than they did in Book #3 when they had only been with each for a few years.
