Check it out on Facebook

Here's your chance to check out a few chapters of this fantasy series I've been raving about for so long.

As many of you know I'm a fan of the fantasy series The Riyria Revelation by Michael J. Sullivan. If you are a follower for some time now I've shared with you that Orbit Books has picked up the series and will be publishing the 6 book series in 3 books over three months; November 2011, December 2011, January 2012. Great accomplishment for Michael.

Now I have a little more news for you as well.

The Riyria Revelations is now on Facebook to Like. When you Like it you get the chance to read for Free the beginning chapters of the books.

Now me, I'm looking for Percepliquis the last book of the series. Yes, I'm going to get a copy of this one to read, but the curiosity is getting to me. ;)

Curious about the series? I've read the books as 6 individuals, but they are pretty much the same idea blended into 3 books.

You can read all my reviews, I try to keep them all spoiler free:

The Crown Conspiracy

Avempartha

Nyphron Rising

The Emerald Storm

Wintertide

I've done interviews with Michael as well, if you would like to look over those as well...

Interview 1

Interview 2

I'm thinking Melissa needs to get a strong lock or a mean dog. There are book thieves about.

Thanks for the continuing support, Mel.

Blodeuedd - he he. I have to say this is one of my top series here. So it is secreted away so no one will find them. ;D

Kristi The Book Faery - lol. Oh, I've soooo loved this series. So glad you like the sounds of it. :)

Melissa (Books&Things) - Hmmm, do I feel a conspiracy here? lol.

Michael J. Sullivan - It is always a pleasure to help lend some support. :) And yes, these girls have been trying for some time to get to my books. lol. Thank you!

More incentive to pick up this series since the first five are already out and the sixth one is forthcoming.

Missie - Thank you for stopping by and so glad you liked the links. :)

StephanieD - Well, the first 5 are not for sale any longer with Orbit picking up the series. BUT Orbit is releasing the book in 3 months, 1 each month, to get the series out to all the readers quickly. :) And Orbit was kind enough to go ahead with printing the last book as a standalone for us who have followed the series thus far. That is pretty cool of them. :)

Quotes from Books, which caught my eye...

"It's always Ragnarok. Regular mortals have the power to blow the world sky-high and all the major supernatural factions can do the same. The thing is, though, as long as people want to live then you're going to have people stepping in the way of those who want to do something to blow us up. That's the only way you can endure it." Ben Talbot, By C.T. Phipps in Esoterrorism

"Be that as it may, we were--and no doubt, still are--held under scrutiny, with that whole Phoenix Society brouhaha. It is imperative we remain on our best behaviour, a feat that you did not exactly manage effortlessly with your shenanigans in Edinburgh." Wellington Books, By Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris in The Jaus Affair

"Remember this always: the fly, even in paradise, must always exist on shit." By Frances Pauli from The Fly in Paradise

"'In hundreds of years,' she continued, voice darker and sober now, 'I've only let myself love two people. You don't have that kind of time, though. You're mortal. You don't get to make a lot of mistakes before you kick it and if you wait, you get screwed over.'" By Skyla Dawn Cameron from Hunter

"...But I don't want you to be afraid to take risks. If it's worth it...If the person in his eyes is the person you want to be, the person you know you could be...then don't be scared..." By Nicole Peeler from Tracking the Tempest

"We are what we choose to be, girl," she said. "Let others determine your worth, and you've already lost, because no one wants people worth more than themselves..." By Peter V. Brett from The Warded Man.

"There are no honorable causes. There is no good or evil. Evil is only what we call those who oppose us." By Michael J. Sullivan from Nyphron Rising.

"That we are both right. One truth doesn't refute another. Truth doesn't lie in the object, but in how we see it." By Michael J. Sullivan from Nyphron Rising..

"Death is real, irreversible, and awful. Do you want some advice? Don't wait until you're dead to try to communicate. Do it now. You still have a chance. Not a great one, but a better one than you will have. If you think it's hard to get your point across now, and that no one really understands what you're about, just try it when you're dead." By Alexander Jablokov from Brain Thief.

"I wasn't running now so much as stumbling quickly, panting like a geriatric lion." By Nicole Peeler from Tempest Rising.

"Watch for the ones who leave your mouth hanging open. Study them, find out what they love and what they fear. Dig the treasure out of their soul and hold it to the light." He leaned in even closer now, so that Neb could smell the wine on his breath. "Then Be like them." By Ken Scholes from Lemantation.

The truth, the Seventeenth Gospel said, is a seed planted in a field of stones beneath a stone and guarded by snakes. To have at it, be strong enough to move the stone, patient enough to dig the hole and fast enough to dodge the viper's fang. By Ken Scholes from Lamentation.

I took a deep breath, "I took the nahlrout because I didn't want to faint. I needed to let them know they couldn't hurt me. I've learned that the best way to stay safe is to make your enemies think you can't be hurt." It sounded ugly to say it so starkly, but it was the truth. I looked at him defiantly. By Patrick Rothfuss from The Name of the Wind.

"We can be strong in the face of kings and priest, my lady," Ashe replied, "but to live is to have worries and uncertainties. Keep them inside, and they will destroy you for certain-leaving behind a person so callused that emotion can find no root in his heart." By Brandon Sanderson from Elantris.
