answered a question about
A Taste of Gold and Iron:
Requesting it on Netgalley is your best bet! That's not something I have control over, unfortunately -- it's all decided by my publisher. Good luck!

answered a question about
A Taste of Gold and Iron:
A TASTE OF GOLD AND IRON was written to function as a standalone -- that is, you'll get a complete and satisfying story in one book.
On the other hand, I love these characters so much and I can definitely imagine more stories about them! :) So we'll s See Full Answer |

"I was honored to have received an ARC for A Taste of Gold and Iron - lucky, too. But I received one and here I am, still thinking about this book days later. I went to sleep thinking about this book. I woke up thinking about this book, these characte"

"A delightful novella, which hits the ground running and never stops until the end, ramping up the stakes until all seems lost... but this is a comedy, not a tragedy, and the antagonists are not mustache-twirling villains. If you've read A Choir of Li"

"I count myself incredibly lucky to have gotten an ARC of this. A Taste of Gold and Iron is a beautiful book. I have rarely (possibly never) seen such well-handled casual queer representation or such realistic anxiety in a character. No canonically qu"

This book breaks all the laws of book physics. By all rights, this book should not have worked, and yet it DOES, brilliantly, because Victoria Goddard is just that BREATHTAKINGLY good at characters. This is the kindest, gentlest, most empathetic book ...more | |

“Who you are isn't the thoughts in your head or the fears in your heart or the name someone else gives you or takes from you. Who you are is what you do. It's the actions you take, or that you don't take. It's the way that you help people, or don't. It's the good that you put into the world, or the bad.”

“Because who you were is just the stories you tell yourself about yourself, and the intersection of all the hurts you've ever had and how you survived them.”

“Nuryevet wasn't a real thing--it was a story that people told one another. An idea they constructed in fantasy and then in stone and mortar, in lines of ink in labyrinthine law books, in cities and roads. It was a map, if you will, drawn on a one-to-one scale and laid out over the whole landscape like so much smothering cloth. So when I say there was nothing in Nuryevet worth saving, that's what I mean: the story wasn't worth saving, and none of its monstrous whelps were either--the government, their methods, the idea that they could feed their poor to the story like cattle to a sea monster so the wealthy could eat its leavings.”
