In This Iron Ground by Marina Vivancos
4.0
4+ stars, because of how heavy my heart felt for Damien and how much I want him to feel happy and loved. I really wish the next book continued their story, it feels like it’s barely begun. Definitely mind the trigger warnings - especially the first part has some really painful scenes.
This story is very light on the werewolf lore. That didn’t bother me, per se, but I’m struggling to see why that element was added, since the plot didn’t seem to hinge on it in any profound way. Not that I minded, but I’m curious if this aspect will play a bigger role in book two.
Even though the story was somewhat different, a lot of the themes (and the setting, of course) reminded me very much of Wolfsong. This is definitely a mist-read if you loved that book.
