Yes. Its another trilogy.
I'm only maybe half way through book 1 but the new characters are far more interesting than almost anyone in original powder mage series, and I like the setting better so far.

I can buy that, I feel like writing well rounded characters people identify with is probably the hardest part for new authors.

That's the main reason I like the second trilogy better than the first. I thought every main POV character was really well done and very interesting in that trilogy. Ben Styke in particular is awesome of the new characters.
And without getting into spoilers I was impressed with how he turned a secondary character I really didn't care for in the first trilogy into an amazing main character in the second trilogy that I really liked. Abercrombie in his sequel novels is the only guy that usually shifts me on characters like that.
I'd agree with Cotton on the first Powder mage, I thought the first solid but not amazing, and it took off in the second book and was really good from there. And I think the second trilogy was great start to finish.
