The Crimson Campaign

Really 4.5. This is a great second book in the Powder Mage series. The characters grow deeper and the pressure builds up nicely. Tons of action with hand to hand combat and full-scale military battles. A very good political scheming backdrop as the sides use high stakes to take over Adro. The chapter structure sometimes throws me off, wishing that the three major characters POV paragraphs would be split or have a divider to help me switch. Overall, I can't wait to read [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] and see what happens to Tamas, Taniel, and Adamat.
