Blood of Empire concludes the second of Brian McClellan's two Powder Mage trilogies. Stephen and Ryan recap the first two Gods of Blood and Powder books before breaking down the exciting conclusion. If you're looking for a nice combination of military fantasy, political machinations and well defined magic all wrapped around a layer of frontier flintlock fantasy, then this is the series for you! Plus, it's usually a good thing when a book reminds you of Brent Weeks' Lightbringer series...right? Next Up: Blood Rites by Jim Butcher Followed By: His Dark Materials Season 1 from HBO Chat with us more!
