Another week begins. I quickly slip into my business suit and head back into the office to save a few innocent people. While I try to fool myself into being excited about the promise of a new week and the continuation of the regular grind, deep down, I’m not, so I’m going to escape dreary reality by finally reading a book I’ve been waiting for!
Wrath of Empire by Brian McClellan
Genre: Fantasy – Flintlock
Series: Gods of Blood and Powder #2
Publisher: Orbit (March 6, 2018)
Author Information: Website | Twitter
Length: 624 pages
The country is in turmoil. With the capital city occupied, half a million refugees are on the march, looking for safety on the frontier, accompanied by Lady Flint’s soldiers. But escaping war is never easy, and soon the battle may find them, whether they are prepared or not.
Back in the capital, Michel Bravis smuggles even more refugees out of the city. But internal forces are working against him. With enemies on all sides, Michael may be forced to find help with the very occupiers he’s trying to undermine.
Meanwhile, Ben Styke is building his own army. He and his mad lancers are gathering every able body they can find and searching for an ancient artifact that may have the power to turn the tides of war in their favor. But what they find may not be what they’re looking for.
Just started this one last night, and like all the rest before it (novellas, too), I’m loving it. This series has been truly addictive! 🙂

I find myself reading slower and slower, as I’m going to hate waiting for the next one. 😦

Thanks for putting both Sins and Wrath on my radar. I picked up both and am looking forward to diving in. Currently in the middle of Miss Subways by David Duchovney – which I’m really enjoying – but hope to get to these this week. Cheers, Brian

Looking forward to starting this one myself. I completely missed the launch and need to catch so this post served as a reminder. Enjoyed all the books by McClellan, even the free ones!
