GUNPOWDER AND BULLETS WILL DETERMINE THE VICTOR.
When invasion looms... Tamas's invasion of Kez ends in disaster when a Kez counter-offensive leaves him cut off behind enemy lines with only a fraction of his army, no supplies, and no hope of reinforcements. Drastically outnumbered and pursued by the enemy's best, he must lead his men on a reckless march through northern Kez to safety, and back over the mountains so that he can defend his country from an angry god, Kresimir.

But the threats are closer to home...In Adro, Inspector Adamat wants only to rescue his wife. To do so he must track down and confront the evil Lord Vetas. He has questions for Vetas concerning his enigmatic master, but the answers will lead Adamat on a darker journey.

Who will lead the charge?Tamas's generals bicker among themselves, the brigades lose ground every day beneath the Kez onslaught, and Kresimir wants the head of the man who shot him in the eye. With Tamas and his powder cabal presumed dead, Taniel Two-shot finds himself as the last line of defense against Kresimir's advancing army.
THE CRIMSON CAMPAIGN continues the most acclaimed and action-packed new epic fantasy series in years, following on from Promise of Blood - an adrenaline-fuelled debut of flintlock mages, civil war, and cold-blooded murder in a world where gods walk the earth.

So good I had to finish the last book before writing a review.
By Robin Snyder
Definitely better than Promise of Blood and a great action packed free-for-all.

***“One man always makes a difference. Sometimes it’s a small one. Other times, he tips a war.”***

I’m not huge on loving military campaigns and since this had 2 character PoVs with military type campaigns I should have been totally bored with this story and yet I wasn’t.

Tamas is behind enemy lines cut off from the world and thought dead trying to get his smaller portion of the army back home to meet up with the main body. He is totally outnumbered by the Kez and in completely hostile territory but he shows us every step of the way why he is such a great military leader and how he became the man he is today.

***“Let the Kez come,” Tamas roared. “Let them send their greatest generals after us. Let them stack the odds against us. Let them come upon us with all their fury, because these hounds at our heels will soon know we are lions!”***

Taniel on the other hand has just recovered from the coma he suffered at the end of Promise of Blood and with KaPole’s help they are off to kill a god. If only they can find him and figure out how to kill him. I will say the KaPole is really a fun and amazing character. Sure her magic is still pretty mysterious to me and I want to know more about how it works. But while we get some hints there is always an air of mystery to it. I’m not sure how I feel about the burgeoning relationship between her and Taniel. I like Vlora and have this semi-hope that they work things out. But I’m torn since I really like KaPole too and whatever magic she has wrapped Taniel up in seems to be changing him into something….more.

The final PoV was Adamat’s. He is trying to find where his family is being held and rescue them. He decides that he will need some major help if he is going to be able to save them. Bo seems like just the thing since he is one of the only privileged in the city.

***“You missed the morning’s festivities,” Bo said to Adamat
“You call torturing a man ‘festivities’?” Adamat asked.
“I’m not a good person,” Bo said.”***

Bo might not be a good person but he is definitely one of my favorite people in this series. His wry humor and interesting flexible morality just does something for me. He isn’t a good man but if he is your friend he is the BEST man. He and Adamat as a team go very well together.

I really enjoy the blend of the war with the politics and a few of the Gods just wandering around. Adam reborn is probably one of my favorite gods in a book. I loved his approach to trying to help and yet not trying to be too involved or overly godly.

***“God' is a funny word, it implies omnipotence and omniscience. Let me assure, I am neither.”***

Overall, I found the pacing in this book to be better than the last and the coherence of the overall story seemed to be better than in Promise of Blood.

This has been a really good fantasy series thus far and I was so excited to carry on with the series that I finished the last book before every writing this review. So I can say that it carries on in a great way and finishes spectacularly

fast-paced and the writing has improved compared to book 1
By Sneaky Burrito
You'll want to start this series with volume one, Promise of Blood. There's a fair amount explained about the magic system, religions, countries and governments, and other aspects of worldbuilding there. And without that background, there's a lot about this book that won't make sense -- the author avoids repetition here, and I love that. This way, more time is spent on the story, on action. (Key character relationships were also developed in the previous book and that information remains important here, as well.) If you haven't read the first book, the level of technology here is pretty standard for fantasy, with the exception that gunpowder is known and used (generally single-shot weapons, however).

We have the same POV characters in this book as we did previously, with one addition towards the end. Field Marshal Tamas is attempting to defend a city from an invading army. Something goes horribly wrong with that early in the book and he's forced to change his plans. Tamas's son Taniel is recovering from severe injury suffered at the end of book one and is reluctant to get back to his duties (though he does eventually join the war effort). Former Inspector Adamat is focused on his family, but his quest to rescue his wife and children is tied into events at large. We also have some scenes from Nila, the former laundress, and at the end of the book, we are finally rewarded with hints of information about why she is important. And the Privileged sorcerer Bo (Taniel's best friend) is the new POV, mostly interacting with Adamat and Nila.

Tamas, Taniel, and Adamat are the best-developed of the characters, although I'm pleased at some of the complexity we see in Bo in this book and hope that trend continues. I'm hoping Nila develops some of this complexity in the next book (which thankfully is due out pretty soon). I really hadn't been all that invested in Nila before, but I think she will prove much more interesting in book 3. Also, I have to say that I really want to know more about Taniel's companion Ka-poel. She has some amazing powers but I'm still not sure why she's so attached to Taniel. (Thankfully, her amazing powers require some effort to set up and she can't solve every problem she encounters.)

For what it's worth, Adamat, Bo, and Nila are largely in the city of Adopest for the majority of the book. An election is about to be held and there's a lot of political maneuvering that they get swept up in (and that relates to their personal problems). Taniel and Tamas are both in a lot of battles, but on different fronts.

Because the main characters are, by and large, separate from one another, it's interesting to see what sorts of things they are motivated to do, acting on old news. There is NOT an instantaneous method of movement or communication in this book and I rather enjoyed reading about the complications that caused. Different characters think other characters are dead, injured, missing, etc.

In the last book, Tamas wanted Adamat to root out a trader on the council of people who overthrew the king. In this book, Taniel suspects there are traitors in the military and he is severely hampered in his efforts to root them out. Complicating matters is the fact that a character he thought he killed in book one is not dead, though Taniel's magical shot has made the character go insane, which causes problems for people on both sides of the battle. I appreciate the incorporation of the idea of unintended consequences/unforeseen results. Taniel took the best action he could in book one, based on what he knew. Then he had to deal with the results of his action in book two. (He will have to finish the job in book three.)

Family relationships were important in book one and they are again in this book. I like the relationship between Taniel and Tamas. They clearly care about one another as father and son, but they also don't get along sometimes. And Adamat has to make an absolutely heartbreaking decision regarding his own family. I didn't see it coming. But you really feel for him and his wife (and the author gives them an "out" at the end of this book).

I think the writing has improved over book one. A lot of the early parts of book one were choppy, as if an overenthusiastic editor cut out quite a few sentences. I didn't notice that here. So that's good.

There's a fair amount of violence and gore in this book, some adult language, and sexual situations (but nothing explicit). Still, probably suitable for mature teens on up (all of the main characters seem to be in their 20s or older, for the most part).

If I had one criticism, it's that Tamas's besieged army has an awful lot of success considering their lack of resources. On the other hand, people in desperate situations can be motivated quite a bit by fear of something even worse. And tempers fray appropriately as the situation gets worse. Overall, I enjoyed this book and am definitely looking forward to the next one. Glad I don't have to wait too long!

Pure AdrenaIine Rush
By RichardPF
Promise of Blood, the first book in the Powder Mage trilogy was one of my favorite books of last year so I was anxious to read the sequel. And once I started reading, I was hooked and couldn't stop till I finished it. Crimson Campaign was a non-stop adrenaline rush of action. Tamas, Taniel and Adamat also face dire challenges, from the Kez attacking to more diabolical plots within the city. The god Kesimir is back, and apparently on the side of Kez. But you can't count out the Chef. Secres of the past are revealed, as well as revelations of the present. This is a well-written fantasy, with an intriguing setting and cool magic systems. I highly recommend this book, as well as the first one. And once you read this book, you will be eager for the next book.
