Touch of Iron by Timandra Whitecastle

5.0

This book was quite the surprise. I honestly didn't think it would be great but I was absolutely blown away. I'll be honest, the beginning was a little hard to get through at times. There was a lot of set up that was unclear in its purpose and I couldn't really see where the story was going for a while, and not in a good way. But when the storyline picked up, it picked up and refused to put you down.
This world is harsh and absolutely unforgiving, and because of those elements Nora, the main character has learned to be just as harsh. Of course she has snark, and sass, and badassery mixed in there too, (which are always my favorite personality traits in a character).She is aware of the conventional role she's supposed to play and gives a big "f*** you" to anyone who tries to stand in her way.
There were multiple plot twists that kept me on the edge of my seat, and I can't wait to read the next one.

***Warning: this book does contain rape and attempted rape scenes for those who could be sensitive to that****
