Kadou and Evemer from A Taste of Gold and Iron

[thesebooksaremytherapy]

A Taste of Gold and Iron is so funny because Evemer goes from thinking that everything Kadou does and says and looks like is a sign of his weak character and immorality and flightiness while Evemer literally grows in rage with every little interaction.

And then by the end of the book Kadou is mounting his horse with “breathtaking grace”, filling Evermer with pride with every tiny action, and making Evermer want to fall to his knees and press Kadou’s hands to his forehead in worship of his Lord.

Tadek calling Evemer "honeybee" unironically is THE BEST. Him being so bratty at the beginning but then becoming bffs with both the boys is hilarious. I disliked him soooo much at the beginning, but now I'm dying and wanting him in every other scene that isn't just Evemer and Kadou

A Taste of Gold and Iron

I really enjoyed this book! And yes Kadou’s hair is much longer than what is currently visible…but with the full prince hair he was looking a little too femme so it’s ...loosely braided where we can’t see it. ‘A Taste of Gold and Iron’ by Alexandra Rowland is sometimes described as “The Goblin Emperor meets Magnificent Century” and in my opinion…they are pretty spot on with that one. There are cute tropes, a light hearted love story, lots of interesting worldbuilding… and most importantly it was really fun. The story is set in a fictional “Ottoman Empire” so I used said fashion as the starting point for my ‘redesign’ but these are not to be taken as accurate, I did take liberties, it is a fantasy setting complete with a hard magic system.

I just finished A Taste of Gold and Iron and I can’t stop imagining Evemer dragging Kadou to a chess board any time something happens. Like Kadou just woke up and Evemer is herding him towards the chess board before he even gets his coffee just to see how the absence of coffee affects the game. I bet he wanted to play after one of their near death experiences. This man is ridiculous.
