Hey all, Robin here. I want to first thank everyone who has been commenting about our new feature Sullivan’s Spoils. The first episode has been received very well – and I’m all preparing episode 2.
Right now a lot of our efforts are going to “The Cycle, a project that I’ms sure will be Michael’s biggest and best work yet. But IT IS ONLY for those who have read all 20 books in the Elan Universe. If you skip Riyria, or Legens, or Rise and Fall, then you absolutely should skip “The Cycle” – because it’s ONLY designed for die-hard fans and it will make little to no sense to those who try to read it without the pre-requisites.
Luckily, Audible is going to help those who have missed the Rise and Fall series, as they put Book #1, Nolyn, in one of their huge promotions – Buy One Get One Free Sale. And if you’ve read Legends, then you absolutely won’t want to miss Farilane. Both Michael and I think it’s his best single work ever, especially for those who read Legends first.
There are a lot of good titles in the sale, and I thought I should give you some other choices for your “other credit pick. So here goes:
| Title | Author | Rating | # ratings |
| Nolyn | Michael J. Sullivan. | 4.6 | 6,771 |
| The Princess of Potential | delemhach | 4.8 | 631 |
| Bastion | Phil Tucker | 4.7 | 3,318 |
| Circe | Madeline Miller | 4.7 | 55,327 |
| The Wizard’s Butler | Nathan Lowell | 4.7 | 8,395 |
| Dawn of Wonder | Johnathan Renshaw | 4.7 | 42,418 |
- Nolyn is the first book in the Rise and Fall series and it follows the events directly after the end of the Legends of the First Empire series.
- The Princess of Potential is a standalone book set in The House Witch series. It’s written by delemhach, someone we feel so strongly about that Robin took the time to run her Kickstarter and we have helped her self-publish her next serie The Ether Witch. It’s cozy fantasy filled with humor and a touch of romance.
- Bastion is the most popular book written by Phil Tucker, a great friend of ours who is doing very well, the rating and number of reviews speak for itself.
- Circe is one of Michael’s favorite books, so an easy pick for a recommendation
- The Wizard’s Butler, is written by another fellow author friend from very far back in the day when Michael self published. Nathan is a tremendous writer, and a damn fine narrator – he actually did the first audio narration of The Crown Conspiracy back in the day. His Tales of the Solar Clipper series is fabulous “slice of life” science fiction with an easy flowing writing style and great characters. We’ve not read Wizard’s Butler but we are picking it up as part of the sale.
- Dawn of Wonder is read by our narrator Tim Gerard Reynolds. I listened to it and found it to be a darn fine tale, so big thumbs up from me, and it looks like I’m not alone in that opinion.
