He is the tough, stoic, stone-faced protector anyone would dream of having stand guard for them. He was just so wholesome and loveable and I cannot get enough. He is the epitome of a smol cinnamon roll, but he could also destroy you in a fight easily. I loved every aspect of his character, and how he slowly overcame his fears. I loved watching Kadou blossom over the course of the book. I literally had dreams about them for days after finishing this book. I love watching them blossom over the course of the book, and when I tell you I have never shipped two characters more than I shipped Kadou and Evemer I am not exaggerating. It was instant, and the slow burn romance between these two just made it so much more enjoyable. I have never experienced a book where two characters had THIS MUCH chemistry right off the bat.


Kadomer? Evedou? I don’t know the official ship name but I am obsessed with them either way. The worldbuilding was absolutely amazing! The characters were flawless. I instantly fell in love with the amazing world Rowland brought to life. I am struggling to even put into words just how brilliant this masterpiece was. I cannot express how much I loved this book. That is how hooking and brilliant this book was. I wanted to reread it even while I was still reading it for the first time. I already want to reread it and I only finished it a week ago. A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra RowlandĪ Taste of Gold and Iron is now my all-time favourite book.
