"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....

"Promise of Blood is a hugely promising debut. Guns, swords, and magic together? What more could you want? How about tense action, memorable characters, rising stakes, and cool, cool magic? 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

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.
could have been better.

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.
great characters

Balances the main characters well.
The only downside is an odd one. The intensity of the story for the first 80% of the way through never really wavers. This keeps you engaged but can make things bland. There are very few quiet moments to slow things down and humanize the characters. I find myself wanting to know how the story continues, but I will likely listen to another story in between for a change of pace.
Gritty and Real
