I also recently finished Witchy Eye by DJ Butler. I’ve seen this described as Americana flintlock. Not sure about the flintlock part because the magic does not revolve around gunpowder (which has been my experience with flintlock fantasy having only read Powder Mage). This book was a well written, interesting read and I plan to continue with the series. The world is an alternate America with some fantasy creatures and magic. Several people from American History are mentioned throughout the book with unique twists on their stories. The religion is strongly Christian based. Many of the conflicts stem from the time of the Protestant Reformation if that had been an even more divisive and bloody affair.

The narrator of the Witchy Eye audiobook wields several different accents masterfully to my ears. Her male voices are also very well done. Some things like saying “bang” nearly everytime a shot is fired (also written this way so can’t fault the narrator) was a bit annoying but easy to overlook with the excellent overall performance.
