Anybody else read Promise of Blood, I just finished it up. It was decent, the writing was probably the weakest part, but the setting and plot itself make up for it- even if powder mages make no sense. I’d put it just under the Thousand Names, but better than some of the following books from that series.

The latter of the two anon.

Finally got around to reading this book series. Turns out that with the exception of the first book and the idea of the world, Napoleonic age with magic, its god awful.
I feel like venting my anger out for the wasted potential of this series and my money.
So lets discuss this series and others that start of strong and with promise, but go to the crapper and are over hyped.
