For me, this book had more combat than I typically prefer to read and some of the combat dragged on for too long to keep my attention. This is the only thing I didn't like about the writing itself. 

This book also features golems but the author did not take care to look into the historical and religious impact of golems from the standpoint of the Hebrew religion and I think that the misrepresentation is not directly problematic but the lack of care is somewhat disappointing. 

Overall, I really like the characters and the story told here. The romance is satisfying and the plot is both challenging and fun.

3.0

I really enjoyed this book and loved the characters (especially Brand). Although I don’t think the author excelled at world building (specifically with their societal structure), I felt like there were a few errors in the book that editing didn’t catch.  I’m also not the biggest fan of fantasy worlds based off the real world either, but I’m hooked and will be reading the rest of this series. 

Side note: In my head Brand was Roy Kent from Ted Lasso and Addam spoke like Prince Merkimer from Disenchantment.

Rune often uses fire attacks on enemies.

Several years prior to the start of the book Rune’s family estate was attacked. During the attack his father was killed and Rune was tortured and sexually assaulted by 9 people wearing animal masks. This is mentioned a few times in the book mostly very briefly and generally with very few details. However there is a moment towards the end when Rune and Addam are in the Westlands where they are attacked by Rurik in which Rurik casts a spell and briefly makes Rune re-live memories of that event. During this incident Rune is distressed and is getting ready to use a spell that will kill him and everyone around him so that it doesn’t happen again. He is rescued before he does so. Later, at the end when confronting Ashton, Ashton reveals he was one of the masked people who attacked Rune and gives some details of the event to prove he was there.
