HEIR OF NOVRON Riyria Revelations, Book 3

The end of the Riyria Revelations begins near Wintertide. The Nationalists are searching for a way to recapture their kingdom. Tim Reynolds maintains a tone of engagement as the complex strands from the prior novels in the series are drawn together. He’s an able guide through the political intrigue at work as the regents plan to marry off the empress and then kill her to complete their rise to power. Reynolds infuses the characters with attitudes that make clear their social status. Many characters are memorable. Their relationships with their comrades are complicated, and Reynolds shows their ambivalence and affection toward one another, as well as their mutual suspicions.
