The Autumn Republic by Brian McClellan

The Autumn Republic (Powder Mage Trilogy, #3)

by Brian McClellan

The Autumn Republic is the extraordinary finale to one of the most talked about epic fantasy series in recent years. In a world where magic and technology are intertwined, who could stand against mages who control gunpowder and bullets?

THE CAPITAL HAS FALLEN . . . 
Field Marshal Tamas returns to his beloved country to find that, for the first time in history, the capital city of Adro lies in the hands of a foreign invader. His son is missing, his allies are indistinguishable from his foes, and reinforcements are several weeks away.

AN ARMY DIVIDED . . . 
With the Kez still bearing down upon them and without clear leadership, the Adran army has turned against itself. Inspector Adamat is drawn into the very heart of this new mutiny with promises of finding his kidnapped son.

ALL HOPE RESTS WITH ONE MAN . . .
And Taniel Two-shot, hunted by men he once thought were friends, must safeguard the only chance Adro has of getting through this war without being destroyed . . .

I liked this series, I did, but it seemed like something was missing and it all felt like there wasn't enough depth.
The story is interesting and a lot of the characters are cool to read (except for Adamat, his povs are soooo boring), but at the same time I was never thrown into the story. While Sanderson's and Rothfuss' books let you forget you are just reading words on paper, this one always kept my imagination from flowing.
This series is a missed opportunity, sadly.
It's still enjoyable though.
