Cool. So if I started with Powder Mage, and enjoyed it, where should I go next? I'd be interested in more "flintlock fantasy".

Draconis Memoria is very good.

Also, I'm listening to The Thousand Names, by Django Wexler, and am enjoying the hell out of it.

The Mistborn books I believe mix in the beginning of guns. I haven't read them all, yet, but that is my understanding. Perhaps it's in the Wax and Wayne trilogy.

The Lightbringer series introduces firearms to an extent.

Others I have looked up, but have no experience with include:

Thieftaker Chronicles
Iron Elves
Temeraire
At the Queen's Command
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel.

Though Mistborn and Lightbringer bring firearms into the mix, I wouldn't call them flintlock fantasy in the same vein as the others mentioned. Draconis Memoria, Powder Mage and Shadow Campaigns (the Thousand Names series), all rely heavily on a Napoleonic-esque setting, when cannon, rifling, and the advent of rapid fire guns come into play.

Look around and you'll find it. It's growing.

After you read the two Powder mage series as Love said Django Wexler's Shadow Campaign's books and Anthony Ryan's Draconis Memoria series would be the best choices, both are very good.
