About this listen

A hero to some. A villain to many. The truth forever buried.

The man who became known as Esrahaddon is reported to have destroyed the world’s greatest empire—but there are those who believe he saved it. Few individuals are as divisive, but all agree on three facts: He was exiled to the wilderness, hunted by a goblin priestess, and sentenced to death by a god—all before the age of eight. How he managed to survive and why people continued to fear his name a thousand years later has always been a mystery...until now.

From the three-time New York Times best-selling author Michael J. Sullivan, Esrahaddon is the final novel in the Rise and Fall trilogy. This latest set of stories sits snugly between the Legends of the First Empire series 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 is the 19th full-length novel in a body of work that started in 2008 and spans four series.

couldn't put it down so much better than previous stuff and that's good too

you won't be disappointed

The author states at the beginning of the series that if you’re new to his work that’s fine because this series works as 3 stand alone novels. In short, they don’t. You can still enjoy the stories to an extent, but you’ll feel like you’re with a new group of friends listening to them reminisce and tell stories about years worth of parties, experiences and relationships you weren’t around for and have no knowledge of. This gets worse as the series progresses and is particularly frustrating in the third book. It’s a pity because the stories are pretty good and it’s an intriguing world. If the author hadn’t outright said that they work fine without knowledge of his other works I’d have probably read the others first. In my opinion he’s wrong and you should start elsewhere. Now I need to decide if I want to read his other work and try to untangle the threads or just move on.

Read author’s other work first.

I laughed and cried. Masterful writing. The characters and story and interwoven backstories are simply magical. Cannot wait for the next one. Don't make me get my begging bowl ;).

More, please, Sir

Sullivan never disappoints, and Tim as usual brings the perfect story alive! It was a joy reading about Esrahaddon, which has been a mystery from the Riryia books!

Perfection as always

I loved this just as much as the last books, I really hope we get more stories about Esrahaddon in the future!

Amazing

Great to finally have this missing piece of the puzzle, a thoroughly enjoyable listen!
My only issue is the fuzzy ending, yes we sort of know what happens thanks to Theft Of Swords, but we don’t know how, how does Mawyndulë achieve it given the ending?
I hope this is expanded upon at some later date because the lack of explanation made for a disappointment lack of closure.
Despite that void, this is a fantastic book and would definitely recommend it.

Another fantastic book from MJS!

Can’t wait for the next one , the performance was on the point as hell , the end was a little disappointing I expected some cliffhanger but with the other books already read i kinda knew the end, but maybe its just me , cant have enough of the world of elan , this book didn’t had some many hurting deaths kinda missed them haha

Didn’t disappoint

Im always tentative about prequels, but Sullivan manages to write plots and character stories I could never have imagined, even though I knew the ending in advance!

I have never read better prequel work

Sobbing, sobbing. Loving so many characters. Everyone developing by the end. Must go back and refresh from the beginning of the saga!

How can they keep getting better?!?!
