The Grimnoir Chronicles is an Alternate History fantasy taking place in the early 1930s. It’s so topical, I decided to start with a solid quote from tvtropes: The story is long and full of action, but constructed mainly through a consistent application of several tropes. And, frankly, the novels are not sophisticated enough to warrant a very long review, if I want to avoid spoilers. I decided to review the entire trilogy in one post, as they are very similar and basically tell one big tale of one group of protagonists. Titles: Book 1: Hard Magic, Book 2: Spellbound, Book 3 Warbound I share my listening time between audiobooks and podcasts, and I have other sources than Audible, so I only buy credits for a few months each year… but I ended up buying the entire trilogy, and some other stuff as well, including Rotherweird books recommended by Chris, also great but not a topic of this review. I remembered I read about Correia at Bookstooge’s, and I decided to go for the first volume, and delay cancelling. Some time ago, when deliberating on Audible, whether it’s time to take a break or continue my subscription for a few more months to accumulate more titles, I noticed Hard Magic among the recommended titles. Just the original trilogy, haven’t read any of the short stories.
