The Tempering of Men Reviews

3.5
“This book felt very much like a middle book of a trilogy. It had a sort of lull in the urgency of the story. But it was still a pretty good book, once I got into it. The hardest part for me though was all the characters. There are a ton in this book and they all have very complex names. The setting is a pseudo-Norse culture, so the names are Nordic in style, as are the place-names and titles. It took me about a third of the book to figure out who was who of the major characters, and the minor characters, well, I lost track of some of them. I wished I had read this much sooner after the first book of Iskryne trilogy, A Companion to Wolves. I think I would have enjoyed it even more. Come visit my blog for the full review… https://itstartedwiththehugos.blogspot.com/2023/09/the-tempering-of-men.html”
