ALL. THE. FEELS.
Wow, I was NOT expecting that AT ALL. MY heart has been wrecked... Also, all the stars for one of Michael J Sullivan's best works. This works well as a stand-alone for those who have not read any of his books, (I'd still suggest not to do so, despite Michael's comment below as well, as this is a second book in a series, and the first book won't be as enjoyable as a standalone without having read Riyria and Age of Legends and just ... it's a series. That has very strong ties to another series. Make the effort, please as it's worth it), but for those who have read all of his works there is a much larger impact and payoff which is the reason this book hit me so hard and I am tempted to reread everything building up to Farilane pretty soon just to relive it. It's that good.
Highly recommended.

Hey thanks for reading and the very kind words. I've heard from people who have read ONLY Farilane and I'm pleased to say they have loved it even without knowing anything about the books - but, yeah, for those who are avid readers of mine - the amps are turned up to 11 and it's even better for them.

I will amend what I said above. Thank you for this amazing read!

2 authors I have to get to in a REALLY BAD way: Mark Lawrence and Michael J. Sullivan. This makes me want to get to Sullivan fast.
Hey Caleb, I hope you do - and if you want, I can send you some short stories so you can get your feet wet without any outlay of cash - just let me know.

Alright, got Theft of Swords because Michael was nice enough to respond. I always appreciate that. Start it when I finish my Warcraft book.
My favorite Mark Lawrence is the Impossible Times trilogy. A lot of his stuff is borderline grimdark, which I'm not a fan of, but he is very good.

Impossible Times is so nerdy, I love it: Dungeons & Dragons, time travel, 1980s.
