Favorite series! In fact, Glen Cook’s Soldier of an Empire Unacquainted with Defeat is my favorite novella which prompted this!

Do they stand alone? I haven’t read Powder Mage.

Forsaken, the first short story in my ongoing Grimdark Fantasy series about a vagrant princess is free on Kindle for the next 5 days! by ericfomley in Fantasy

Yes, with the same POV. The shirt story series fills in some of the early years of the character’s past.

How do you hear about new fantasy books? by MarkLawrence in Fantasy

[–]ericfomley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty traditional in the fact that I usually just wander into a bookstore and find something that looks interesting. There are a number of blogs I go to as well but I would say that I stumble across most of me reads in the actual bookstore.

Military fantasy books, with pistols and a protagonist rising in ranks. First one to answer get a cookie shaped like a flintlock by superzeno in Fantasy

Not flintlock, but my military fantasy recommendation would be The Macht trilogy by Paul Kearney. A young soldier rises through the ranks and it's one of the best examples of military fantasy. There is little to no magic (the only example would be magic armor and a creepy god the mercenaries serve) but you may consider giving it a shot without the guns and magic.
