One can't help but feel wistful at the end of this series. Such a thrilling journey it has been.

It has been a rich, deeply satisfying journey of near-death scenarios with half-crazed, exasperating, and sometimes near-invincible characters who had to prove their worth again and again in the face of overwhelming odds.

The characters enjoyed the dizzying heights of triumph, often side by side with the despairing depths of defeat. Of course, the characters are unique, one of the standouts of this top, top series. Gods of Blood and Powder, other than being aptly named, hands down tops the Powder Mage Trilogy, in my opinion.

If you're a fan of fast-paced, all-action fantasy with great characters, then this series is for you. Thrilling from start to finish!
