Book Review: Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Flintlock fantasy is a subgenre that I’m incredibly unfamiliar with. You can imagine how pleased I was when my fantasy book club picked Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky as our May read. This ended up being a great book to discuss because there was so much to unpack with the writing, but that’s… Continue reading
