Historia
Erika ja Leora is a powder mage in northern Kez, a place where that particular sorcery is punishable by death. She is only protected by her family name and her position as heir to a duchy. When she decides to help a young commoner-a powder mage marked for death, fugitive from the law-she puts her life and family reputation at risk and sets off to deliver her new ward to the safety of Adro while playing cat and mouse with the king's own mage hunters and their captain, Duke Nikslaus.

Historia
The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Historia
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

Resumen del Editor
"Just plain awesome" (Brandon Sanderson)
Civil unrest cripples the citizens of Adro in the aftermath of the revolution that obliterated the monarchy. Now, Field Marshal Tamas and his lieutenants must confront the true cost of freedom in book one of the Powder Mage Trilogy.
It's a bloody business overthrowing a king...Field Marshal Tamas' coup against his king sent corrupt aristocrats to the guillotine and brought bread to the starving. But it also provoked war with the Nine Nations, internal attacks by royalist fanatics, and the greedy to scramble for money and power by Tamas's supposed allies: the Church, workers unions, and mercenary forces. It's up to a few...Stretched to his limit, Tamas is relying heavily on his few remaining powder mages, including the embittered Taniel, a brilliant marksman who also happens to be his estranged son, and Adamat, a retired police inspector whose loyalty is being tested by blackmail.
But when gods are involved...Now, as attacks batter them from within and without, the credulous are whispering about omens of death and destruction. Just old peasant legends about the gods waking to walk the earth. No modern educated man believes that sort of thing. But they should....
Winner of the David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Debut Fantasy.

Not only the finest flintlock fantasy I've read, but also the most fun. Brian McClellan is the real thing."—New York Times bestseller Brent Weeks
"This book is just plain awesome. I found myself enjoying every moment of it. Innovative magic, quick-paced plot, interesting world. I had a blast."—New York Times bestselling author, Brandon Sanderson"

A Three-Star Book Bumped Up by a Compelling Finish
There are some interesting worldbuilding aspects in this book, alongside a compelling character or two, but I thought the vast majority of it was rather "meh." I had a hard time caring about the characters, and most of them were not particularly nuanced in any way that made them interesting. That being said, the book ends with a devil of a cliffhanger that promises some fun stuff in the future, so I'll probably go for book two.

could have been better.
the plot is good but the focus of the story is not so good. there is no explanation about the powder magery. no explanation how the villains are working. no explanation what or how the savage girl is doing. All the focus is on protagonist Thomas who is a weak character, and other than just worrying, he is not doing anything the entire time. a leader without resolve. freed a country but not doing anything to run it. neither fortifies the defense of the country even after hearing the warning that the neighboring country is planning to attack, nor tries to increase security inside the country. dismisses everything he hears about the villain outright as superstition in an era of magic. in theory he is very powerful but in reality he gets captured again and again, ambushed again and again. what i mean is, he didn't have any characteristics of a good leader. Not sure how he became the commander of the military. also 80 percent of the book, he is battling his own dilemma. if someone is this conflicted before starting a coup that makes sense but after starting a coup should have had more foresight and resolve to see things thru. while the protagonist is battling his dilemma and worrying how he can be betrayed or taken down, by that time all the important events are happening without any focus on it from the writer.
All in all I like the plot, gives an idea how the society would have been when monarchy was going out of business. How desperate the lords were to cling to power etc. but the writing is not so great. Other than the detailed account of the worrying of the protagonist, nothing else was explained. Could have been a lot better.
The narrator is good. not a lot of range like the number one narrators but still good.

Awesome new series!
I knew when my friend said this was a new fantasy series that I would enjoy, that I wouldn’t be disappointed. Great story, character development, and the narrator was amazing.

great characters
I loved the character development in this book! from the point-of-view characters, to the die-before-you-learn-their-name characters, each one seems fully developed with a rich backstory, hidden motives, and real feelings. That is crucial for me. The story line itself (installation of a new government) left me wanting a little more, but the magic and the gods kept me intrigued throughout.
I wasn't crazy about the performance. It seemed a little campy in some places and almost comical. Also, a couple characters, who have frequent conversations with each other, sounded the same. without the text, it was frequently hard to tell who was talking.

Worth the Effort
This book is long, by at least a third. That said, I enjoyed it.
I agree with several other reviews that the narrator Christian Rodska leaves something to be desired when compared against some of the powerhouse narrators of today. He really did only have a couple of different sounding characters and most do sound like angry old men! Still, give it some time and you get into his rhythm.
I thought the story was very engaging and most of the characters are compelling... I simply think it felt slow and dragged out. I am glad I stuck with it because in the end I completely enjoyed it. I highly recommend this book.
