A review by keightmaclean
Cold Iron by Miles Cameron

5.0

A masterpiece of a coming of age story, set in a beautiful, historically inspired city, equal parts Constantinople and Venice. Following Aranthur, a farm boy moved to the big city to study magic at the academy, Miles builds a rich, multicultural world filled with tradition and politics, and an outstanding magic system, which we find is as vast and varied as the many cultures who use it. As usual, Miles paints a complex visual tapestry filled with unique characters, clothes, weapons and city streets, so real they fill my dreams at night. An absolute page-turner, the action and intrigue in this story was nothing short of addictive and I can't wait to for the next book in the series!
