avhollow 's review for:

Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan
4.0

Original, well-told story that mixes elements of fantasy, steam-punk, and the French Revolution. The only downfall for me was that with the aftermath of a revolution, the impending invasion by a neighboring country, a turncloak within the new goverment's ranks, and a powerful mage on the loose, there were quite a few competing narratives. However, a satisfying enough conclusion is presented for the first in a trilogy.
