A review by jujudepamplemousse
A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland

3.0

(3.5) The romance was kind of quiet in a very good way. In a way, I can understand the parallel with The Goblin Emperor. Both novels are very character driven with quiet atmospheres. However, the quality of the world building and the politic machinations is not comparable. I wish the author had put more care into the world building. Honestly, the world building is pretty inexistant, which also makes it difficult to get into the story at first. The politic plots were overly simplistic and served mainly to advance the romance. I quite liked the romance but not so much the rest.
