Holy cow, I was NOT ready for the awesomeness that is the #grimnoir series by #LarryCorreia! I picked up the #audiobook for the first title, #hardmagic, on sale and immediately consumed as much as i could find shortly after completing that. Set in an alternative 1930s where people are (since the 1850s) being born with magic powers. The stories play out between a few main characters and some superb supporting roles across 3 main novels and 4 novellas/companion pieces that sees struggles for power, government involvement to "control" those with powers and lots of espionage and action. Correia works in real world events into the timeline, but customises them to fit the world (ie- the Titanic is mentioned in a news broadcast as celebrating the anniversary of it's maiden voyage having been saved by an ice magic individual helping to avoid hitting the ice berg). Its a lot or fun and I'm sad there isn't more to the universe started here.
