A review by cinnamon
In This Iron Ground by Marina Vivancos
3.0
I'm not sure I would classify this as a romance novel. If you go in anticipating it to be a romance, prepare for the longest slow burn of your life.
I read this in one day, the majority of it in one sitting, and I did enjoy it. However, the GoodReads description is much more accurate than the Amazon description. The focus isn't on the romance between Hakan and Damien, it's on Damien and his found family/coming of age/healing from trauma experience over the course of several years.
There are some typos, as well as a random "I hid my laugh" in the prose (not dialogue) despite it being written in 3rd person, but overall, a solid story. Just not really a romance.
