Farilane

The Rise and Fall, Book 2

De: Michael J. Sullivan

Narrado por: Tim Gerard Reynolds, Michael J. Sullivan, Robin Sullivan

Some truths are dangerous, certain secrets best concealed, and one story never should have been written at all.

Being an unwanted twin in the Imperial line of succession, Farilane became a scholar, adventurer, and in a time when reading was once more forbidden—a book hunter. Her singular obsession is finding the mythical Book of Brin, a tome not just lost but intentionally buried. Respected and beloved by the Teshlor Knights, not even their legendary skills can protect her for what she finds is more dangerous than what she sought.

From the three-time New York Times best-selling author Michael J. Sullivan, Farilane is the second novel in the Rise and Fall trilogy. This latest set of stories sits snugly between Legends of the First Empire and the Riyria books (Revelations and Chronicles). With this tale, Michael continues his tradition of unlikely heroes who must rise to the call when history knocks, demanding to be let in. This series will conclude in the summer of 2023 with the release of Esrahaddon, the final piece in a narrative that began in 2008 and contains 19 full-length novels spread across four series.

Loved it!

I really loved this book!!! I agree with what Robin says in her afterward. Really wonderful job!

Outstanding story

Farilane is one of Sullivan's best books, only behind Heir of Novron in my opinion. It has lighthearted moments followed by very poignant moments quite successfully tug on our heart strings. Farilane sets a high bar for the next book to be sure, but I trust Sullivan will not disappoint. TGR turns in another masterful performance. I know some will be critical with the end but if you are really honest about it, there was no other way for the impact that it had. I am really looking forward to the next book and then eventually listening to the whole series in chronological order. Very well done!

Amazing

I loved this book! The story is gripping and emotional. Tim Gerard Reynolds does a terrific job of bringing the words to life.

I feel bad for you if you don't love it.

I pre-ordered this book back in April. I have listened to all the other books in this series and this one while not in my opinion the best has some of the best writing in it. I do feel like it should have been longer with more explanation but it was still great. There are few authors that I will look for to read and this is one of them.

Gut punch, yes. Amazing, yes

I agree it might indeed be Sullivan’s best work yet. Character development with Farilane is well done and I love her whit. The ending is crushing however. I really really hope that the the reasons reveal in the next book a year from now because if they don’t.. Well, my faith just isn’t that strong (but my hope is)

Unexpected

Although I would have preferred a different ending, I was inspired by it. I loved it.

He’s Back!

Excellent. Now I just wish I had a better memory for what comes next (and I’m sad I’ve already read those bits). This is true foundational work for the rest of the books that follow.

Maybe the Best

This may be the best of the series. Time will tell in the summer of 2023 when the next book arrives. For now, enjoy.

Another Winner

Michael, Robin and Tim have done it again. His characters draw you in as always. Can't wait for the next book. Great story with phenomenal narration.

the BEST yet

overall - amazing. Tim is just a gem to listen to.

Ugh, this books was best so far. Having read ALL the other books, I simply love the Easter eggs. And yet, the story is so compelling still ..... without the extensive history. Michael - standing ovation. 👏🏼

Just such a fun journey.

Robin - if you read this, please please please convince Michael to explore an alternate history/timeline of Farilane making the other choice. Please. I need to know. 💜
