Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky
5.0
I went into this book without knowing anything about it. I thought I would like it, because I have been enjoying Tchaikovsky's works. This book went to a whole other level. I loved it from beginning to end and in the process, I discovered a new subgenre: Flintlock/Gunpowder Fantasy. I think Naomi Novik's Temeraire series and Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell would fit in this subgenre.
Just as the 60's audiences discovered that you could portray social justice through Science Fiction (i.e, Star Trek), and change people's perception of race and gender, written fiction can do the same.
Of the seven books I have read this year by Tchaikovsky, this is by far, my favorite.
