Thank you to the author for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book hits the ground running with the first sentence, with tension and backstory packed into a novella. Veleno has been blessed with healing powers and he is using them to kill Nazis- especially after they destroyed his family. As we see his grief present itself in his fighting, we also see his love for his partner Rame. These moments of softness really brought a warmth to the story that I didn't expect. Learning about the various old gods, the usage of different forms of worship, and how this presented in this world was really great. The author did a great job of working within the novella format while still providing a great, rich story.
AS CAWPILE:
Characters: 9 | Atmosphere: 9 | Writing: 9 | Plot: 8 | Intrigue: 7 | Logic: 6 | Enjoyment: 8
Total: 8.00 / 4 stars
