Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan

4.0

This book was the start of a very promising new series! Very interesting magic system and setting with a combo of magic and gunpowder. There was tons of action throughout the entire book. The only drawbacks for me was that I felt the plot was very straight-forward, and while incredibly fun and interesting, it lacked some of the surprise twist and turns I really love. Also, one of the viewpoints I felt was a bit irrelevant to the overall story. In the end, this book was fantastic, with memorable characters and I will definitely be returning to the sequel very soon!
