Editor’s note Flintlock fantasy in which powder mages draw magic from gunpowder. The Powder Mage trilogy opens with a coup that topples a king; Promise of Blood is the most read but the lowest rated, and the trilogy climbs to The Autumn Republic, his highest rated. Gods of Blood and Powder, set about a decade later on a frontier continent, rates nearly as highly; read the first trilogy first.
