Hi everyone!! :) Let us know why you all picked this book as the book of the month, have you read and loved it? Have you heard good things about it? Are you looking for a good sword and sorcery book? Some quality characters?

This is a series I only discovered this year but have since read all of the books in the series and I personally adore the fun relationship between Hadrian and Royce and I am sure you will too! I cannot wait to hear all the discussion, theories, ideas, questions and giggles that this series gives you and I have to say it only gets better as the series goes on... :)

Why do you want to read it? :)

TS Chan (tschan) | 159 comments I picked this simply because I want more people to read this amazing series. I love it so much that I was having a major hangover after finishing the series (which I did in under 2 weeks - can't stop reading it).

I got the audiobook on sale recently so I thought I will give it a slow reread. Can't wait to hear all your thoughts about this awesome series too.

Tiffany (lexiophile) | 12 comments I saw that there is a prequel series that was written after this one. I was just wondering if I should read that first to get the best experience from the timeline. I would love to see opinions from people who have already read both.

Even though that was the prequel, I find that reading Revelations first was a better choice. Somehow it makes you appreciate Chronicles more after you've known what happened after. Just one of those prequels done right..


Michael (michaeldixon) | 60 comments It has been too long since I read this series. The theme is carefully constructed and all the dominos tumble into place in the final book. Brilliant

That and Hadrian and Royce are fun to read about

I'd agree with TS, starting with Revelations is better in my opinion :)

JayBee | 4 comments I saw Crisper's review of this book and she absolutely adored it. Bought the book instantly.


Cristal Punnett I picked the audio book from my local library, loving it so far, great narration by Tim Gerard Reynolds.

That's great to hear as I read them and didn't listen but if I do a reread I may get the audio :)

Paul (paul_sff) | 68 comments I guess I'll try to squeeze this in during the month. Maybe I'll try to stretch it out over the whole month. =) I've been meaning to read Sullivan's books for years now. The guy is just a good guy. I was actually saving them for a time in my life when I was depressed, to help me get through it, but I should check it out now, since I have all his books. =)

They're fab and super fun so reading them when you're in a good mood should put you in a SUPERB mood :)
