Heir of Novron question

I am currently reading book two of Riyria Revelations, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I find that the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson includes many, or possibly all, of the aspects that you mentioned above.

Loved this series. Check out The Ryiria Chronicles
The Crown Tower
The Rose and the Thorn
The Death of Dulgath
These books are very cool and they give the whole story of how they met ect.

I agree with Hector ^^ You really, really need to read The Riyria Chronicles, too!

Also, I think you would enjoy The Night Angel series or Lightbringer series, both by Brent Weeks. The Riyria books and the Night Angel books are among my all time favorites. Not to mention The Farseer books, by Robin Hobb. Also, Gentle Bastards by Scott Lynch is high on my list, too.

Hope that helps :)

I agree with Felicia in regards to the Gentleman Bastard series, first book here: The Lies of Locke Lamora. It contains pretty much all of the elements you mentioned and was very well received by many, myself included. Big focus on the thievery aspect, starring a group of con artists robbing high value targets with finesse. World just slightly touched by magic, never too prominent. Tells the story of the main characters from childhood on, so there's quite some character development to be had. Includes a fair share of romance and conflict too.

Another recommendation: Assassin's Apprentice
Lacking thievery, but easily makes up for that with very deeply developed characters, rarely got so attached and definitely one of my all time favourites. Features the story again from childhood on, focusing mainly on one persistant main character. Rare to see such a well developed personality spanning over so many years of his life, watching him evolve and change. Focuses on adventure, chivalry, heroism, romance, stealth, assassination and magic. The introduction is a trilogy, but there're several follow up books available continuing the story.

However, definitely finish the rest of the Riyria books first, they're all very well written. Take care as to not overlook the short stories!

I recommend trying The Legends of Eli Monpress by Rachel Aaron. When I recently read it, I could definitely see comparisons between our two writing styles.

Well definitely The Ryiria Chronicles, that's a given.

I'm currently reading A Throne of Glass, which is a YA (I'm normally not big on them) but I'm loving it and it does have much, if not all of what you mentioned ... "heroism, adventure, romance, magic, action, dynamic characters, stealth/thievery/assassins". I say much of what you mention because I'm only in the 3 of the 6 book series.

One of my favorite book series aside from Riyria is ‘The Tales of The Ketty Jay’ series by Chris Wooding! It’s more of a science fiction than fantasy, so there’s not really much magic involved (“much” is the keyword—as in there is still quite a bit of a magical/mystical element to the story!) but the characters are fantastic and the sarcasm and wit in Wooding’s writing style fit the series and the main party’s dynamic SO WELL. It’s such a fun series full of action and roguish adventure as I like to call it, lol. And if the science fiction isn’t your cup of tea, Wooding just recently released the first book of an epic high fantasy series called The Ember Blade! I have yet to read it, so I can’t give you much info about that, but if it’s even the slightest bit like The Ketty Jay series, it will be damn near impossible to put the book (or in your case Kindle) down :) The Riyria series is still my favorite of all the books I’ve read, but Chris Wooding is a fantastic author and definitely worth a look.
