Blood of Empire

Executive Summary: Unfortunately I didn't review this back when I read it. I think I found it a satisfying conclusion to the series though.Audiobook: I don't think I've listened to anything by John Telfer. I vaguely recall thinking they were fine considering the narrator swap, but wishing Christian Rodska had been up to the task instead. I haven't read any updates on their health, but hopefully Mr. Rodska is able to recover and return to narrating books.Full ReviewI delayed listening to this book because the audio was delayed. Then I delayed even further because: 2020.I've really enjoyed the Powder Mage series and this book was no different. I didn't find this conclusion quite as satisfying as [b:The Autumn Republic 20883847 The Autumn Republic (Powder Mage, #3) Brian McClellan https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1393261950l/20883847.SY75.jpg 40224712], but it was enjoyable overall and probably one of my top reads of the year, few and far between as they may be.I wish I had been in the mood to write a proper review at the time, but this will have to do. I'll be curious to see what kind of stuff Mr. Mclellan does next since he appears to be stepping away from his Powder Mage world for the time being. I tried his Urban Fantasy series and while I enjoyed it, it's nowhere near as good.
