    Absolutely Superb
  

*by H***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2023*

I owned Gunmetal God's for over a year; it sat in my Kindle library, an ignored book I had purchased on a whim while it was on sale.  There it sat, waiting patently while I chose to read dozens of other books.  After finishing a very good series, I was looking for basically a throwaway read, so I started Gunmetal Gods without any expectations.Thus, I was unprepared for how absolutely superb it would be.Zamil Akhtar has created a world with a fresh twist on fantasy that is riveting and exciting. His mix of magic, religion, metal, and myth drew me in and had me wanting to learn more.  His ability to take the reader into places beyond perception was remarkable and unlike anything I've ever read.The characters and their motivations are complex and extremely well written.  The primary characters move along their arcs in understandable and reasonable ways; you may not agree with them, but you can understand how and why they do what they do.  Akhtar understands human drives and the complexities of how religious beliefs can affect people's decisions, justifications, guilt, grief, and hope.There is plenty of fantasy action as well.  The tension and action of the fights and battles is extremely well done, and there are plenty of unexpected losses amongst the characters, reflective of true battles; sometimes important or powerful members of an army or force are lost or maimed because every battle is chaotic and full of chance.  Akhtar displays exceptional skill at writing these scenes and portraying the weight of loss and the cost of success.I won't give a plot summary; there are plenty of summaries or descriptions available and none of them do this book justice.  Do yourself a favor, stop reading the reviews and instead read this book.  You will experience a new twist of fantasy writing that is well worth the read.

    A great start to a Middle Eastern inspired, GrimDark fantasy series!
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2021*

📖/🎧 with kindle whispersync.A semi-finalist in the SPFBO-7 and one that I wanted to read the moment I saw the gorgeous cover, and it rightfully won the cover contest! This was a great read, lots of action, great pace and great fleshed out characters who were not safe from harm, world building wasn’t super detailed but it was enough to understand the surroundings. A story of conquest dealing with scheming and political manipulations from both sides as well as internal conflict mixed in with some divine intervention.“We’re all good men until we’re pushed to the edge. Then you either die a good man, or the good man in you dies.”Knowing that Zamil was introduced to the fantasy and Sci-fi world through his brother with Star Wars. I appreciate the subtle and not so subtle influences that are scattered within the story. Once I knew about that I was catching small things here and there that may or may not be influences but definitely felt like it. One I thought was a pretty glaring homage and when you get there, you will agree with me!“Better someone was being killed. Better swords be sharpened daily for killing.”I did enjoy this a lot, but why 4 stars instead of 5? Unfortunately, since I used Kindle Whispersync to read and listen, I have to grade it with that in mind. Peter Noble did a pretty good job narrating, but the issue I had was with the main character voices. The voices were far too similar, almost as if they were the same person… and I was expecting a twist at the end to reveal that fact or something along the lines of a past/future revelation, but it was just 2 voices that were basically the same. I got confused several times listening to the story because I thought I was still listening to the other character, forgetting that the chapter ended and it moved to the next POV. This is a BIG problem if you’re an audio listener and it’s the only reason it did not get 5 stars from me.No disrespect to the narrator, but I would suggest reading this over listening to the audio for a better experience.

    One of my favorite fantasy novels in a long time
  

*by C***C on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2024*

I’m addicted to reading fantasy novels, but am very remiss at writing reviews. At this point, I’ve read literally dozens of different series by as many different authors, and this was one of my favorites. (For reference, other favorites include Brent weeks, John Gwen, Anthony, Ryan, and Tad Williams, among others.) This book has it all complex characters, a fast moving plot and interesting story elements. Its basis In Middle Eastern mythology separates it from, and elevates it above, many other fantasy novels/series that are based , consciously or unconsciously, on European history and culture. This book is definitely worth a read, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I’m looking forward to binge-reading the rest of the series.
