Började lite segt men när jag väl kom in i handlingen så kunde jag inte sluta lyssna. Önskar att det fanns en uppföljare...

Fantasy & SciFi
Guns of the Dawn is a pacey, gripping fantasy of war and magic, from Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author, Adrian Tchaikovsky.
‘One of the best books I've ever read’ – Peter Newman, author of The Vagrant
The first casualty of war is truth . . .
First, Denland’s revolutionaries assassinated their king, launching a wave of bloodshed after generations of peace. Next they clashed with Lascanne, their royalist neighbour, pitching war-machines against warlocks in a fiercely fought conflict.
Genteel Emily Marshwic watched as the hostilities stole her family’s young men. But then came the call for yet more Lascanne soldiers in a ravaged kingdom with none left to give. Emily must join the ranks of conscripted women and march toward the front lines.
With barely enough training to hold a musket, Emily braves the savage reality of warfare. But she begins to doubt her country's cause, and those doubts become critical. For her choices will determine her own future and that of two nations locked in battle.
‘An engrossing story, beautifully told’ – SFX
‘Moving, gripping and wonderfully paced’ – The Bookbag

What a thrilling adventure! I thoroughly enjoyed this flintlock fantasy novel (a fantasy subgenre I'm usually not very fond of), though I have to admit I wanted to know more about the magic and I thought the ending was a bit rushed. But the characters, the plot and the atmosphere were fantastic. Highly recommend!
