Hi Michael, i just finished reading the Riyria Revelations and it was an amazing journey. As i turned the last page of the last book, Heir to Novron, it was like a dear friend had left me. Are there any suggestion for similar books to the Riyria series?
Michael J. Sullivan
Well one of the reasons why I wrote these books is because I had problems finding books to read that fit my reading preferences perfectly. There are a lot of great books out in fantasy right now and the landscape is quite diverse so there is a bit of something for everyone. That being said, a lot of the books are pretty dark with some grusome anti-heroes which is kind of the opposite of what I do. But to get down to your question...these are the books I would recommend:
* The Legend of Eli Monpress by Rachel Aaron
* The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
* Watership Down by Richard Adams
* Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
* Princess Bride by William Goldman
* Ready Player One by Ernst Cline (science fiction but it fits)
I will say that a lot of people compare my books favorably to Fritz Lieber's Fahrd and the Grey Mouser books. I've never read any of them myself, so I can't with 100% certainty...but I have seen it raised often enough to make me believe there are some similarities.
I hope you enjoy the reads!

Thanks so much for writing, You are one of the few authors that I've read who can have an exciting story without somehow compromising the characters or setting. I'm growing curious though, how does Royce get from who he is in The Death of Dulgath, to The Crown Conspiracy? He's obviously the same person, but with some edges rounded off. Will we get to see this happen? Thanks
