Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan
4.0
This is my second flintlock fantasy and both times I went in very skeptical because for some reason fantasy and guns don't mix in my head. However both experiences were great despite my initial reluctance. So I need to let that go.
This book has so many great things that I love to see in books. Magic system is a bit derivative from Sanderson, but still really cool. I liked the magic addiction aspect, which is interesting to see, though at this point is more hinted at than actually explored. The characters and their relationships are interesting and complicated and messy. The world building is great. There is politics, intrigue, revolutions, gods walking among people, messy family dynamics... I am very interested to see how this continues.
