Summary
Rich in magic and adventure, Michael J. Sullivan’s soaring fantasy novels are masterworks of heroism, love, and sacrifice. Now, in the New York Times best-selling Age of War, the epic battle between humankind and the cruel godlike beings who once ruled them finally ignites in all its fury.
The alliance of humans and renegade Fhrey is fragile - and about to be tested as never before. Persephone keeps the human clans from turning on one another through her iron will and a compassionate heart. The arrogant Fhrey are barely held in check by their leader, Nyphron, who seeks to advance his own nefarious agenda through a loveless marriage that will result in the betrayal of the person Persephone loves most: Raithe, the God Killer.
As the Fhrey overlords marshal their army and sorcerers to crush the rebellion, old loyalties will be challenged while fresh conspiracies will threaten to undo all that Persephone has accomplished. In the darkest hour, when hope is all but lost, new heroes will rise...but at what terrible cost?

Superb
I have been reading and listening to fantasy books for close to half a century, the genre seems to be going from strength to strength, there are so many talented story tellers weaving entertaining, engaging and skillfully written tales it's a great time to love fantasy. Michael J Sullivan is in my opinion up there with the best of them, I adored the Riyria trilogies, so naturally was looking forward to the Legends of the First Empire. It would have been safer, I suppose, for MJS to give us another set of tales featuring Hadrian and Royce rather than to recount the genesis of the world of Riyria. I'm glad he took the risk these novels brought me back the days when I first fell in love with the genre in a way that very few books that I've read in the intervening years have. They are entertaining, heartbreaking, exciting, fresh and oh so beautifully crafted - in short an absolute joy.

Great set-up for the rest of the series
Although I bought this one on pre-order I only just got the chance to listen. Now I’m kinda wishing I had waited for the remaining books to be available so I could binge on the whole series.
Fantastic story and fun to see how different the heros of old from Riyria are so different from their revealed selves. Great seeing and recognising Malcom as a character linking all the major story points across Revelations and Legends, the whole “...seeing it happen again...” being tied into this series is a nice touch.

The epic picks up speed
This is Book 3 of a 6 book series of Legends of the first Empire and its amazing that the plot lines are converging, diverging and confounding at the same time. I have read all the Ryria books and the prequel continues to be fascinating. Excellent narration
