Word count: about 88 000Rating: “My apologies for doubting your sound paranoia. “ I have some problems with this book. It hasn’t been a devastating disappointment. There simply isn’t anything remarkable about it. I’d even consider giving it two stars. I’ll stick with three, because after reading pr...

Would you look at that. Right after my update at 53% it picked up quite nicely :) Totally saved the book. I'll definitely keep on with the series now.

Sorry, guys. I know this is one of the big successes of the self-publishing fantasy biz, but wow, was it not for me. The story lagged, the dialogue was beyond wooden, most of the characters whiny and emotionally immature. It took a good couple of books after this one to get the taste of bad fantasy ...

I so enjoyed this book..and it's all due to what it lacks!So much sword and sorcery fantasy these days feels like it has to be uber-descriptive. They remind me of the frozen turkeys that when you unthaw them just drain off water they have been 'plumped up' with. So it was with great pleasure that I ...

The Crown Conspiracy is perfect for readers who enjoy epic fantasy, but in a smaller package. When you have the time and energy for a 500 or more page epic, why not? But if you want a good historical fantasy tale that is shorter but doesn't lack what you enjoy in the genre, then it's great to find ...

I just don’t like them...I LOVE them!I am always afraid to start a book that seems interesting because I think I will stop my every other work in order to finish that book first. This is what pretty much...

I wish Sullivan had let his skills mature a little before putting this book out. It's pretty close to something really good. I was drawn in by the promised plot, but let down by the execution. The story can't decide if it's too big or too little. There are things that are obviously set up to be ...

How can I review an entertaining little story with really terribly transparent writing?I LOVED THIS BOOK. I wish I could give it a higher number, but it would feel like cheating. Where subtle hints would do just fine -wonderfully, actually- the author feels the need to explain, explain, explain -- /...

[Rereading before the final part of the series, and revising my opinion. Short version: still an enjoyable romp, still three stars. Long version is below.]This is the first of a six-part series of connected stories set in the same world, but designed to be more or less stand-alone. The author has ma...

Lightly detailed, driven by dialogue, comical, and rapidly paced, The Crown Conspiracy falls short as an adult fantasy novel, but for younger readers interested in a lighthearted escape with enjoyable action and memorable characters, they could do far worse than this self-contained start to Sullivan...
