Promise of Blood

Wow. This book blew my mind. I'm so enamoured by everything that McClellan has created in this world. The magic system is just so unique! This is my first forte in to a Flintlock Fantasy novel, and it did not let down at all.

The characters were enthralling, whether it was because of their admirable qualities, or because they were heavily flawed. Their feelings were just relatable. Maybe not in the world context, but in how they reacted to each other. I don't want to forget the little sprinkles of comic relief here and there that I always enjoy in a good story.

The ending was so greatly done too. It really has me so excited to read the next one. Which I am in May, wooo! For any hardcore fantasy lover, or someone new to the genre, you need to pick this one up!
