I mean, I wrote it... 5 stars
It's not a linear story, but has several moving parts and two alternating timelines that converge at the end. It has a few unique ideas and contains action, violence, post-apocalyptic setting, telepathy, love, subtle and non-preachy philosophy, a twist or two, scars, champions, shooters and at least one giant belt buckle.
Ironically, there are no literal Blacksmiths, but the title still makes sense when you read it.
