A Goodreads user asked Brian McClellan:

Hi, Brian. I've had Sins of Empire on my B&N wishlist for about a month, and I really want to buy it--it's so, so beautiful! You're an author I've been wanting to read for a while, and, coincidentally, I had a conversation about Promise of Blood with a GR friend who's a huge fan of your work. Do I have to be familiar with The Powder Mage's world to enjoy Sins of Empire?

Brian McClellan This answer may be coming way too late, but I always wanted Sins to be it's own separate thing; a new entry point to the universe. It depends on personal preference, I think.
