Our view
Flintlock fantasy with a fascinating setting and vivid characters: “Wrath of Empire” is a strong middle volume. Brian McClellan tells the second part of the “Gods of Blood and Powder” trilogy through three points of view, across nearly seven hundred pages. Some readers praise the pace of the action, while others find that the book drags in places and leaves all three storylines open. The trilogy concludes in “Blood of Empire”.
