Theft of Swords - Book 1 - Chapters 7-10

[Kristina]

Here is where we can discuss Theft of Swords by Michael J. Sullivan book 1, chapters 7-10.
DO NOT post any spoilers from further along in the book, this is just for book 1, chapters 7-10. Discussing events from these chapters and previous ones though is perfectly fine.

Well I ust finished book 1 and I thought it was very good! It was a bit predictable.So these chapters were basicaly trying to save the princess and planning and executing a move against Uncle Percy.

I really loved Hadrian and Royce how they saved the princess and for their reward they did not even ask for money just to get the abbey rebuilt. They just seem like really noble thieves. I really loved too he has some pretty epic lines in book 1!

@Shaad - I agree. I think that in the beginning of the book Royce and Hadrian would have asked for money. It shows just how they have grown in book 1. I can't wait to start book 2.

And who do you love? I don't see a name. I love Myron. He cracks me up.

I really loved Myron haha! Ot hilarios when he see a girl for a first time!

[Casey]

Haha I liked when he asked if horses came in different colors.

[Shaad]

ya that was great too!

[Michael]

Glad to see you guys are enjoying the read.

I enjoyed book #1 although it didn't bring any major surprises but it was a great introduction to the characters. I love Hadrian and Myron but I think that at this point Royce is my favorite character - he is just awesome! Looking forward to reading book #2!

Finished book one!!

Wow, crazy ending with the head and all. Also, knowing Saldur is a traitor, but with no one else knowing, is going to make any scenes he is in intense. I'll be sitting there yelling at my book, "NO, don't trust him!!"

I love all the characters. Most of them have grown a great deal in this book. Sarcastic, cold Royce, in love with a hooker. Hadrian, the noble thief who wants to do things because it is right, not for the money. Myron, who is incredibly learned, but also incredibly naive. Alric, who started off pompous and self-absorbed seems to have grasped that that is not the way a kingdom is best served from their king. Arista, although she didn't seem to change much, we did learn that she is incredibly loyal to her family even if her actions may at times seem the opposite.

Can't wait to start book two.

I know it was a great finish! Agreed the characters grew so much over one book!
