Cold Iron by Stina Leicht

5.0

Every once and a while I read a book that I enjoy even though it makes frequent use of literary elements and styles I don't typically enjoy. A handful from Cold Iron are:

  • naming every single character no matter how brief their appearance

  • significant developments happen in between chapters

  • needlessly creating unresolved problems by adhering to a tight 3rd person point of view (seriously is Vicktor's family ok?)

  • and I never felt I had a solid understanding of the plot



And that's just what I can remember off the top of my head. So I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it! At the moment, I can't put my finger on it as to how it won me over, but I'm incredibly impressed that it did.

Looking forward to the next installment and hoping it continues on for many more.
