What a great review! This story sounds exactly like everything I love in a book. It's hard to come by books that contain mostly "bad" main characters, but morally grey is my favorite color; I tend to seek out books about so-called villains. I absolutely adore books about flawed characters, and I especially love stories told from multiple perspectives. Thanks for the effort you put into this!

One thing I did not like about this book was it length. It was very long and made the book boring. The author must work on it

I appreciate the thorough review since it piques my interest in the book and makes me want to read it myself. If the book is part of a series, however, I might not have time to read each installment in depth.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the book. I've never read it, and looking at the cover, I wondered what it could be about. Your review has convinced me to check it out. I like the fact that it's fast-paced. Thanks again for your insight.

your review is exceptional; it truly captures the essence of "Steel, Blood and Fire." Your insights have convinced me to grab a copy. I resonate with your observation about complex characters, as they reflect the depth of human nature. I appreciate you highlighting this book for me.
