He needs to steal a book from a tower, and he needs to do it as the partner of Royce. Arcadius lets Hadrian know that he has to perform a task for him. Upon hearing about his father’s death, Hadrian decides to meet with his father’s friend Arcadius. Hadrian has seen so much death and destruction in his short life that he feels done with it all. He seems so much older than his young years.
Hadrian is a wandering ex-soldier, war-torn, and tired.
Much of this novel is told from the point of view of Hadrian. It wasn’t the sort of stench others could smell or that water could wash, but it lingered on him like sweat-saturated pores after a long night of drinking.” It is the origin story that helps fill in some of the gaps in the later novels. The Crown Tower is a book that helps lay the foundations of Royce and Hadrian’s legendary relationship. It is our first introduction to Hadrian Blackwater’s and Royce Melborn’s world. The Crown Tower is the first book of the Riyria Chronicles series. And this is the idea of collaboration this companionship and partnership is the foundation for Michael J. In this world, there is even a word for this kind of partnership, a Riyria. This is hands down, one of my favorite tropes. Give me two characters that play on each other’s strengths and weaknesses, that while the pair of them are lesser, together they will become unstoppable.
