lizshayne 's review for:

Sorcerer's Feud by Katharine Kerr
2.0

I enjoyed the actual story with two specific caveats.
1) This didn't need Nazis. Why were there Nazis? I'll admit, I'm a bit sensitive to sudden Nazis, but come on! What did that add to the narrative?
2) Kerr solved my objection to Tor and Maya by making her as domineering as him. So, yeah. He's still an insecure example of toxic masculinity and he doesn't get better. I'm not sure if her sudden willingness to be controlling and angry as well does anything other than make me dislike her...which I guess works. I don't resent the paring.
Which is enough to knock this out of a 3 into the realm of 2.
