The Death of Dulgath - Michael J. Sullivan

The Death of Dulgath The Death of Dulgath by Michael J. Sullivan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is another fun adventure with Royce and Hadrian! I enjoy seeing how their friendship develops over time, especially how Royce comes to trust Hadrian, and how Hadrian learns to be more cautious from Royce. I can't help missing some of the other cast from Riyria Revelations, but we do meet some interesting new characters, the court artist being my favorite here.

This tale also reveals more about elves, something I always wondered about in the original series. I hope we get to learn even more in the future. The extra background made this more than just another job for the boys, filling out the world and giving it a paranormal element that I really liked. It's definitely a worthwhile addition to the Chronicles for any Riyria fan.

There were a couple of tidbits about myths from the past, which I have a sneaking suspicion are relevant to the new series coming out soon. I'm looking forward to getting to know a whole new era and new characters in this world.
