A review by midnighteyesx
In This Iron Ground by Marina Vivancos
5.0
This book is so tender, intimate, complex, emotional, beautiful, and *realistic* even with all the werewolves and magic.
Genuinely I’m blown away by Damiens journey, his consistency, the utter sheer complete lack of melodrama that would’ve been so easy and instinctual for the author to fall into with a story like this.
I’m impressed by the amount of time this book spans, that months go by in sentences and I didn’t find myself missing or needing that time written further. Nothing was skipped over, nothing shortened for convenience.
I’m stunned by the entire necessity of the werewolf/shifter universe for this story to work as well as it does.
While I wouldn’t call this book a love story, the love between Damien and Hakan is not a slow burn, but an inevitability built from a connection deeper than a single event. It’s refreshing as fuck to see and it was a pleasure to read.
