Nelson Song asked Michael J. Sullivan:

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!
