Summary
Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer. Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom. And Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over; the time of rebellion has begun.

Amazing but start with the Riyria Revelations
Absolutely love this series and the world of Elan.
The author notes that you don’t need any prior knowledge of his previous works and can read/listen to them in either chronological or publication order. That is true BUT I highly recommend publication order (or close to it)
Without giving too much away there are reoccurring characters across their series and I think chronological order might ruin some of the later (chronologically) books- it would be too obvious with prior knowledge which, to me, would spoil some of the suspense.
I actually went with- Riyria Revelations, then Legends of the first empire, then rise and fall and then finally Riyria Chronicles.
That worked beautifully because I got the broad narrative sweep and the suspense but when the recurring characters popped up in the Chronicles series (which is more stand alone) it was very satisfying.
Highly recommended both for the plot and the narration. I consumed these like an addict. Just finished the last book and feeling a little bereft now to be honest.

Welcome to a big universe!
What did you like most about Age of Myth?
I love the big universe, the different tribes, how the see each other. There are some great characters.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Age of Myth?
Stone to the head second time.
Which character – as performed by Tim Gerard Reynolds – was your favourite?
Malcolm is by far my favorite character, and is combined well with Raithe.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The Leadership challange between Zephyron and Lothian
Any additional comments?
The book is a little hard in the beginning, since you are just thrown into a universe, but as you learn about the different tribes, races, battles and so on, the book becomes really interesting, and the end is great!

A great start to a great saga
It’s great to see how it all began and how the story was versus how the “modern” day world remembers/interpreted the history of the world. So many legendary figures being ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Would recommend the entire series.

Sullivan does it again.
Another great book from Michael J. Sullivan. If you are someone who would like hours upon hours of great joy (and who wouldn't?) pickup any of Sullivan's books. TGR's narration of this audiobook is again fantastic - I hope when these books get adapted for movies/episodic long form (surely inevitable) that TGR appears in the live action movie/episodic long form.

I really enjoyed this audio book.
An interesting tale, but the writer needs to decide , what type of being is hidden in plain site, as the discrepancies in the way he describes this being make some of these vital parts of the story confusing.

Slow first book but it gets better...
I found this quite slow at first but by the end I was enjoying the characters enough to get the next book.
This first book is spent building the world and the characters more than pushing the plot. That pays off as the series gets better and better.

One of the most underrated series!
One of the most underrated series out there. I have been reading fantasy for many years and have often been left disappointed with so many like for like ripoffs from unimaginative authors but this is done wonderfully. The characters are lovable, multilayered and believably real. The world is imaginative and tangible and the story complex but not in a ‘difficult to follow’ way but in a ‘keep turning the pages’ way. I am now on book 5 and have come back to no 1 to leave a review in the Hope it will encourage others to join the adventure. You will at times laugh and at other times feel emotionally wounded as. It’s a story to stir the heart. I’m not looking forward to coming to the end.
