Same world and timeline as Gunmetal Gods, but the old characters are relegated to the background while new characters take center stage.
It felt like I was reading a side story while the real one happened just over the characters’ shoulders. It didn’t work for me.
An epic fantasy twist on the Crusades, with masked magi, angels right out of Revelation (think lots of extra eyes and wings), and a healthy dose of Lovecraft’s Great Old Ones.
I didn’t devour it, but I really enjoyed it and I’m starting the second book in the series right … now.
