I really enjoyed this military fantasy. Even if I tended to skip over the battle bits. They were well written battle bits, they just didn't really mean a lot to me. Someone who is more interested in military history and battles might find those parts a lot more enjoyable. But, that aside, this is re...
In a space something like Arabia with England and colonial powers there comes a brilliant commander with a purpose he's reluctant to share, his actions will change several lives, two of those are Winter Ihernglass and another is Captain Marcus d'Ivoire. Magic will enter both of their lives and noth...
The first two thirds of the book is basically military fantasy similar in the vein of the Malazan books and the Monarchies of God series. Then things move up towards the 'magic' part, which, unfortunately, struck me as weaker for some reason. The writing style is solid enough, but the plot was a b...
I loved this book. :) I actually surprised myself by how much I enjoyed it. I had it on my Christmas list because I'd read in numerous places that people had enjoyed it and the blurb appealed to me, so on the list it went. My son bought it for me and I finally cracked it open last week. And cou...
I REALLY LIKED IT Soooooo, I was as disappointed in this book as I was engrossed. That might not make sense, but I feel like I’ve been sliced down the middle. First and foremost, I don’t mind a slow beginning if I’m engaged in the storyline or learning of the world and characters. I can handle i...
I hadn't read any military fantasy before this and I wasn't even sure that the genre was going to be to my liking, happily I was wrong.I never thought I'd enjoy reading about military maneuvering, bayonets affixing, and muskets exploding but the story kept me very entertained. I did think we'd get ...
The Good:I dig it. I really do. This was my first introduction to flintlock fantasy, and I loved it. I loved Winter Ihernglass. She's a strong female protagonist without being a "strong female protagonist." Call me revolutionary, but I love it when authors write women as people. She works hard to pa...
For some time now, I’ve been co-moderating a fantasy group on Goodreads. One of the troubles with attempting to be an active group co-moderator are monthly reads. Ultimately, only a few read the selections in a timely enough fashion to discuss, so I’ve been making it a personal challenge to read the...
A very impressive major debut, although not a first novel, a first major one, and well done. Strong characterization and worldbuilding with great action and historical elements woven in. A Napoleonic fantasy in every since with magic, swords and flintlock guns as well as military structure, religiou...
