Darn it, Sullivan is just too good at drawing me in. And he comes up with the most unexpected twists!
Actual rating: 3.5 ⭐️
I did like the first book more than this one, but Rise of Empire is definitely a good read. I can't wait to know what happens with Hadrian and Royce in the final book.
Like the first book, Rise of Empire has a good and fun plot built on standard fantasy tropes. The overarching narrative arc is more pronounced in this book as well, and is very intriguing. I'm excited to see how it all plays out in the final book. I was glad to see that Arista became a main character. A fun read!
