A review by valhecka
Black Dogs Part Two: The Mountain of Iron by Ursula Vernon

4.0

Really solid, well-built duology. Tropes abound, as do subversions, inversions, aversions, and just plain old mocking. The conflict becomes complex; this book includes a lot of character thought on moral binaries. The characters and worldbuilding are wonderful, and Vernon's humor comes through clearly in dialog.

Content warning: This book includes a rape scene and a discussion of a relationship with a very clear power differential. Neither is graphic, but put me through the wringer.
