Review

"Promise of Blood is a hugely promising debut. Guns, swords, and magic together? What more could you want? How about tense action, memorable characters, rising stakes, and cool, cool magic? Not only the finest flintlock fantasy I've read, but also the most fun. Brian McClellan is the real thing."―New York Times bestseller Brent Weeks"This book is just plain awesome. I found myself enjoying every moment of it. Innovative magic, quick-paced plot, interesting world. I had a blast."―New York Times bestselling author, Brandon Sanderson"Brian McClellan is an explosive powder keg of imagination with an expertly-plotted fuse. The stories he tells are the stories we'll be reading for years to come."―Sam Sykes on Promise of Blood"The world of the privileged sorcerers and the strange abilities of the powder mages who can manipulate gunpowder are just as well drawn in this captivating universe."―RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 stars)"McClellan's debut packs some serious heat...A thoroughly satisfying yarn that should keep readers waiting impatiently for further installments."―Kirkus (Starred Review)"McClellan's debut is a lot of fun --- a historically influenced fantastical romp filled with machismo, intrigue and magic."―SciFi Now (UK)"McClellan neatly mixes intrigue and action...in a society where new forces like labor unions, gunpowder-armed soldiers, and explosion-causing 'powder mages' clash with traditional magics, more, and beliefs."―Publishers Weekly"Gunpowder and magic. An explosive combination. Promise of Blood is the best debut I've read in ages."―Peter V. Brett"I love the world Brian McClellan builds, Powder Mages with flintlock pistols against white-gloved Privileged for the fate of a nation and more. Promise of Blood feels like the start of something amazing."―Django Wexler"Brings a welcome breath of gunpowder-tinged air to epic fantasy."―Anthony Ryan

The book was very well written, with tight prose and flowing words. It was quite the fast read.My gripe with it, though, is that the characters lack ... well, character. Everyone is clasping hands and everyone is someone's "old friend", but this common history is never explored.The characters are pulled through the story by the action itself, not their internal motivations or wishes. Also, to me, Tamas was unfortunately quite a boring character, all gruffness and coldness. Taniel, on the other hand, had some depth to him, but it mostly took the form of his sole vice -> the gunpowder addiction.** MINOR SPOILER AHEAD **Just two more things: If the Privileged are so damned powerful, why are they getting killed off like dogs? I know Taniel and his skill are special, but still, it kind of undermines the initial scene where they describe how hard it was to dethrone the king.** SPOILER END **Also, if there are Privileged and Marked and Knacked, why haven't the culture and economy evolved around it, at least a bit? It is basically the 19th century, but there is magic (which I know was the goal, but do I believe there was a way to make the world a bit less vanilla while staying true to the original vision).I feel like my review came off as harsh, but I truly scraped the bottom of the barrel to find these issues. Otherwise, it's a solid book and I look forward to reading more from Brian McClellan, especially if he addresses the things that bothered me a bit!Good luck to the author!

I just got back into reading (been over 10 years since I've read a full novel). Last thing I read was The Hobbit when I was a teenager....lol. But I found myself looking up and realizing I was flying through this book. Didn't remember turning pages, going through chapters. I sometimes have trouble starting books because I have a hard time grasping the world building, introduction of multiple characters, plot, etc. all at once. But I really liked how this book was laid out. There are 3 characters/Points of View the book follows, which is solid, but not too much. It was easily enough to follow and enjoy. Sometimes 20 PoV is too much (like "Game of Thrones" & "The Red Knight"), espeically when people die soon after they're introduced...Things that I couldn't get enough of:-The fighting/magical concepts! So good! Guns, magic, swords and the combination of all. Killer!-Character development! Great job on characters. You'll easily like them. Great supporting characters too.-Drama/Thrills! Always drama when there is betrayal and "end of the world" stuff haha.Things that were "pleasing" to my readings:-Just the right amount of detail. There wasn't ever a lack of detail nor was there ever too much. I can't stand reading a page or two of descriptive details explaining an armored knight's chest piece. I'll get bored and have an ADD attack and start thinking about my weekend plans haha.-Environment. McClellan didn't cover the entire world in 600 pages nor spend chapters describing streets, fields, mountains, etc. He does a good job allowing your mind to naturally fill in the details he doesn't describe.-Little bit of effection/concern between characters. Even the hardest of people show it. Nice to know your favorite characters have a heart.Unique concepts to me that I enjoyed:-WHAT THE PIT!!! haha they use "pit" for curseing. It's different and I like it. Serves it's purpose and makes the book less vulgar. :)-2 maps in the front of book to give better visualization/understanding.-The different types of magic/scorcery.My troubles/dislikes:-I was a bit confused in the beginning/middle about the Church leaders/characters and people they're affiliated with. Probably something I should look back into.This book was great from the beginning to the end! McClellan can write for sure. I'm really looking foward to the other books in the series. More possible character development and more world problems are possible :)

This is an historical fantasy set on an alternate Earth in an equivalent to our late 18th Century. It is a time of enlightenment where learned men do not believe in gods and where they yearn to live in a system that isn’t headed up by a king. This book opens on the night of a coup in which a Field Marshall and his cabal have overthrown the king and killed the sorcerers protecting him.The book has multiple stories going at once – the Field Marshall’s story, his son’s search for a missing sorcerer, an inspector working for the Field Marshall and a laundress whose life was turned upside down by the coup. All are well written and the transitions between one to the other are often at chapter breaks so they’re not as startling as they can sometimes be by unskilled authors.The magic system in the book is tiered with different people having an affinity for different types of magic; there are the Privileged who are essentially traditional sorcerers, the Marked who draw their power from gunpowder and are especially skilled with guiding bullets and then the Knacked who have a single talent that can give them an edge over normal people – like the need not to sleep. The Privileged and the Marked work in opposition to each other which adds to the overall drama in the book.This book is well done and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, as I’ve mentioned elsewhere, the author or the publisher has chosen to use replacement swearing. The characters all use the word ‘Pit’ as an expletive which is fine in and of itself, but they use it over and over every page or so. It became tedious after a while as it was the only expletive used.I give the book 4 stars for the quality of the book itself but I have to take away a star for the over use of that single world. Be more creative with your replacement swearing.3 Stars.
