King of the Nerds |
Perhaps the best
compliment I can pay the book and its author is that
immediately upon arrive at work I went and grabbed its
sequel, Avempartha off the new book shelf. |
|
05.10.2009 |
Speculative
Fiction
Junkie |
All in all, though, this was an
extremely enjoyable read from start to finish. The Crown Conspiracy
reminds me why I fell in love with the fantasy genre in the first
place. |
|
05.02.2009 |
The Deckled Edge |
Avempartha is a
worthy sequel to The Crown Conspiracy. In fact, I’d say it
probably surpasses it. I definitely recommend this new
series and I look forward to the third book, Nyphron
Rising." |
|
05.01.2009 |
NovelSpot |
The Crown Conspiracy is entertaining
from beginning to end, edge of your seat moments and conspiracy to
spare. The Crown Conspiracy is a must read! I'm looking forward to
the next installment. |

5 page interview in the Spring '09
edition covering Michael's writing career and insights on both
Avempartha and The Crown Conspiracy |
|

The Deckled Edge |
In many ways, the novel takes all the
conventional tropes of a traditional fantasy story, takes what it
needs, and throws out the rest. What is left is a quick and
entertaining read. |
|
05.01.2009 |
Genre Reviews |
This was a light, engaging read with
steady pacing and an uncomplicated plot. It can be read as a
standalone, though it also sets up the bigger, over-arching
plot-line that will drive the next five books. |
|

Story Institute's
Rambling Verser |
This half hour podcast features a
quote from Abraham Lincoln, poem by Alfred Lloyd Tennyson and an in
depth interview with Michael Sullivan author of The Crown Conspiracy
and Avempartha. |
|
03.29.2009 |
Where's my Plan |
This volume can stand on its own, as
the relevant background from The Crown Conspiracy is skillfully
shared with the reader without any "What has gone before" prologue. |
|
03.28.2009 |
Fantasy Book Critic |
In short, “Avempartha” is
highly, highly recommended and a novel that raises Michael
Sullivan’s The Riyria Revelations to “major league” status. |
|
03.22.2009 |
American Author's Association |
The Crown Conspiracy is a
most excellent historical tale full of adventure, heroes to cheer
for and villains most devious. |
|
03.19.2009 |
Fantasy Debut |
Michael Sullivan is
a gifted storyteller. He comes up with likable characters
and twisty plots. |
|
03.03.2009 |
Dark Wolf's Fantasy Reviews |
Michael J. Sullivan
doesn’t waste time and throws the reader into action from
the first pages of his novel and keeps him there until the
final page is turned. |
|
02.25.2009 |
Where's my Plan |
On the whole, it felt like watching a
pretty good television series: it was entertaining, with an engaging
enough plot, snappy dialog, and characters I could enjoy spending
time with |
|
02.16.2009 |
Fantasy Debut |
The Crown Conspiracy is
right up my alley, traditional fantasy, "good" bad guys, a large
dose of humor, lots of character development and plenty of
surprises. |

Interview: A look
inside the mind of Michael Sullivan |
|
02.09.2009 |
ReaderViews Reviews |
Michael J. Sullivan has
written a book I will read over and over again and it most
definitely will always reside on my favorite’s shelf. |
|
01.20.2009 |
Front Street Reviews |
There is so many layers to this story
that to explain it in a few words is nigh impossible. The characters
are well fleshed out and the descriptions about the countryside and
customs fueled my imagination and I felt that I could hardly wait to
read more of this adventure. |
|
01.14.2009 |
Books by TJ Baff |
The world created by Michael J.
Sullivan is intriguing and he has subtly interwoven new
possibilities that may be coming in future installments of this epic
tale. I am hoping that the future books will include more of the
characters met along the way and I have already guessed at one of
the mysteries. I can't wait to see if I was right. |
|
01.03.2009 |
Dave Brendon's Fantasy & Sci-fi weblog |
This book is a great read;
you’ll find that you’ll breeze through it, because Michael’s writing
style is so easy to get into; the action, tension and even the funny
bits all work well with the style he’s used to great effect here |
|
01.01.2009 |
Literary Magic |
A whirlwind of twists,
earth-shattering surprises and deadly betrayal. |
|
12.10.2008 |
The Old Bat's Belfry |
Great characters, delightful
misdirection, good world building, and just the right amount of
humor. If I had to describe this book with one word, that word would
be fun! |
|
12.10.2008 |
Cheryl's Book Nook |
This is the first book I have read
by this great new author to me. I can’t wait to read what Mr.
Sullivan comes out with next. |

Huntress Reviews |
What we have here is a very well
thought out tale of intrigue... regicide, battles over the throne,
conspiracy, and two thieves thrown into the mix keep the story line
moving at a rapid pace. |
|
12.01.2008 |
Midwest Book Review |
A fast paced and riveting
fantasy, "The Crown Conspiracy" is well worth reading. |
|
11.27.2008 |

Highly recommended and another
positive surprise for 2008. |
