Since time immemorial the warriors of the Paladin Order have harnessed arcane powers to protect their rulers. For Balen, who has given up his chance at love and fought his way to the top of the Paladin Order, there can be no greater honor than to serve his king. But when assassins annihilate the royal family, Balen suddenly finds himself sworn to serve the very man he abandoned.
Now with their nation threatened by enemies both within and outside the kingdom, Balen must fight hidden traitors and unnatural assassins, while also contending with the biting wit and dangerous charm of young King Zavrius. To save themselves and their nation they will have to put aside their past and reforge that trust they lost so long ago.

A Love Worth Fighting For
I learned about 'Reforged' from TikTok actually, a video I saw on my for-you. I ordered this along with a few other recommendations and cracked it open yesterday. This afternoon, I finished it with a smile and a satisfied sigh.I adored the world building, the way their magic worked. The mysterious, ancient creatures and their harvested arcana was a haunting, mystical backdrop to a story filled with danger and magic. The characters were well-known and expressed, and I adored our struggling protagonist.The love story? Absolutely choice. Their interactions, the building up, and that heady bit of spice has me swooning for them. It was a well-done miasma of yearning vs duty, passion and restraint. And my favorite part of it was that the misunderstanding wasn't some ridiculous nonsense, you know? This wasn't the forbidden love of 'woe is me, he'll never love me, blah blah.' This miscommunication was secrets and a past they had to overcome. I think that it gave Balen and Zavrius a lot of depth, made me connect to their story much deeper.(And I just lived Lance and Mallet SO much. I want to have them as friends in real life, not gonna lie.)A really lovely read, truly adored it, definitely recommend!!

Don't let the rating discourage you, if you love high fantasy and gay love stories, do yourself a favor and get this series now.

I read the second book in this series first, but enjoyed this one every bit as much. Haddon is a creative world builder and writes characters who draw you in quickly and keep you reading.

The ONLY reason I have this as four stars is that the editing still needs some work. A few inconsistencies pulled me out of the story. That said, I'm following this author's work and am looking forward to his next publications.

3.0 out of 5 stars Satisfactory fantasy romance
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2022
Verified Purchase
This definitely felt like the author's first book, but there's enough to like here that I am excited to see what Haddon writes next!

For the negatives – Zavrius is obviously a ridiculous name, which made it a little hard to believe in him as a person. The names (& other made up words) in general are sort of a vague video game fantasy mishmash, which I found to be a barrier to immersion, since I was always aware of the author trying to invent names behind the scenes. My other main complaint was that Balen didn't really seem to understand what his job entailed – if he's been training for this all his life, he should have a better understanding of what the core job duties are and how he fits into the military hierarchy. He starts off seeming implausibly incompetent, and then suddenly gets a lot better when the plot needs him to win.

On the whole, however, I did enjoy the book. The little bits of world building are pretty interesting, I would like to know more about the empire and the gedrok. The characters all had pretty distinct personalities and the dialogue was pretty good. I think the romance is quite successful. The main characters are exes, and I thought the author did a good job of showing that even at the beginning, when they aren't getting along, they both still have feelings for each other. Some parts of the plot felt very standard and expected, but there was also a surprise or two that I didn't see coming.

All in all, I enjoyed the book. I think if i could give half stars I might give it 3.5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Unique Fantasy World
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2022
Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book. The world building was wonderful. There were many elements included that were nothing like I had ever read before. The magic system was incredibly interesting. The main romance is between a bard King, and his paladin. Their dynamic is incredibly charming (tho frustrating at times), but ultimately it was a very rewarding story.

Overall this book focuses heavily on court politics which is handled very well. I enjoyed trying to figure out what was happening alongside the MC. There is definitely romance, but it is not at the forefront all of the time, and you will be shouting at the MC's to TALK TO EACHOTHER. Overall the "steam" level is lower like a 3 out of 5. The main focus is on the world, how the characters interact, and what their ultimate goals are.

Shoutout to Lance & Mallet- anytime they appeared I was cracking up- they were a much needed comic relief!

4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I hoped it would be
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2024
I came to this story looking for a good fantasy romance, and this book certainly delivered on that promise. I thought the chemistry between the leads was excellent, and their character development very well done. The only thing that knocked off a star for me was the relatively underdeveloped world. I felt there were a lot of threads left unexplored in ways that broke the fiction a bit (e.g., why didn't the empire attack too?). Of course, what I really came for was the romance, and the solid treatment of that relationship really outweighed any world building shortcomings for me. Overall, recommend for good characters, some excellent twists and intrigue, and a solid romantic pair.

The premise/magic system is original but I felt myself reading some things a few times bc I could follow the way it was written, as if it was missing words or something. Not upset I read it.

It's an original fantasy story, interesting in creation with the magic and Paladins. I love the relationship between the king and his Prime, the struggles and them having to find their way together despite/or because of their history, and the storyline is amazing with great and some unexpected turns!

I loved the story and it leaves me wanting for more, even though it didn't keep me at the edge of my seat from start till end, it's storyline is worked out thoroughly and entertaining. Very wholesome.

Über Twitter hatte ich von der Veröffentlichung seines Buches erfahren und nachdem ich hier mehr zum Inhalt erfahren habe, bin ich neugierig geworden. Und was soll ich sagen, ich habe die Geschichte in einem Rutsch durchgelesen. Mich hat die Story begeistert, wie Balens Charakter, mit jeder neuen Herausforderung, an Tiefe gewinnt, ebenso wie sich die Beziehung zwischen Balen und Zavrius entwickelt.
Seth Haddons Schreib- und Erzählstil haben mich für ihn eingenommen und ich werde die Augen offen halten für kommende Neuerscheinungen.
