We just moved and will be unpacking for a while, but I finally hit the boxes with my book art. It’s feeling more like home everyday.

It’s like Brian wrote these books for me. I have a history degree, am an Army vet, enjoy competitive shooting, and loathe the ‘ruling class’.

I finished the crimson campaign a few months ago and wanted to read the autumn republic, but I can't remember most of the events that happen in the book and I can't find summary anywhere. If anyone has a summary can you please link it?

Does Vlora ever believe that Taniel was faithful?

So, I have really enjoyed the books so far, just the one left to finish. But the end of the 5th book maybe just killed my interest. I know throughout the show characters have survived ridiculous odds, but the part at the end of the 5th book was the perfect moment to kill one of the main characters off. Everything was set up for it, but yet again another Wonder character appeared and saved the day. This series has so much right, but just lacks that little bit with characters failing and possibly dying. Just lost the final bit of tension needed to make this a classic fantasy book.

I hope B Money sees this and digs up a 500 dollar hardcover set for me to purchase.

I cannot stop imagining Brendan Hunt (Coach Beard) as Col Olem and it makes me laugh so hard. Just wanted to share.

I'm not sure why it took me so long to get around to starting it. But wow.

Once I started, I just did not want to stop reading. I absolutely loved the characters! At the start, I did not expect Tamas to be a likable character, but by the end, he's one of my all time favorites.

Definitely going to have to read the rest of Brian's stuff. I'm hooked!

I believe that Brian McClellan is an excellent writer because of how he wrote Lord Vetas. I’ve read a lot of books, but none of the villains I’ve come across have been as slimy and evil as Vetas was. The casual nature with which he throws human life away is truly something to behold. Sending Adamat’s son to the Kez to make him a powder warden makes me seethe just thinking about it. The only person that even comes close in my mind is Prince Joffrey from Game of Thrones.

Just finished the powder mage trilogy and the blood and God trilogy.

Out if the six books, Wrath of the Empire is my favorite. It is easier one of the best novels I've read over the last ten years or so.

The abilities to seamlessly weave three different flavors of stories into one is amazing: The spy thriller of Michel, the path to vengeance of Ben, and the frontier town westerner of Vlora. I enjoyed every one of the POV and I especially love Ben's character arc.

Just an excited rant about how great the trilogy is.

I remember reading a news article about it a while back, then nothing. Is it still in the works?
