review 1: It pains me, cuz I am a HUGE Brian McClellan fan, but this novella missed the mark for me. I just couldn't warm to the characters, and I felt the story just was flat at times and fragmented. This doesn't change my opinion of McClellan as a writer, his powder mage books are amongst the best fantasy books i've read in years. Just missed the mark for me with this story.2 out of 5 Stars.smashdragons.blogspot.com.au
review 2: Forsworn is another interesting powder mage short story. This story revolves around Erika ja Leora...Tamas' wife and Taniel's mother. Erika finds herself in the undesirable position of being born a powder mage in Kez where it's illegal to be one. She has the good fortune to be the heir to a duchy and because of this she's allowed to be "forswor... moren." Forsworn in this case means she swears to the king and Kresimir that she'll never use black powder in any way or even touch any weapon that utilizes black powder.The story centers around Erika finding and helping a runaway powder mage which is a crime punishable by death. I won't get into greater detail because I wouldn't want to spoil a single part of it. Forsworn is a great read for any fan of the Powder Mage trilogy.One thing I've noticed throughout the majority of the powder mage short stories is that Tamas is truly a good man despite his brutality at the beginning of Promise of Blood. Being a good man in a bad world forced Tamas to make a cruel decision in order to save Adro from becoming like Kez. less
