I’ve read all four books in this series, and this is both the strongest and the most compelling of the bunch. When I say that, I mean that I had a hard time not smothering the heroine of “Sworn to the Shadow God”, because there’s a difference between being a woman who plays D&D, and burying herself so far in the lore of the game that she almost gets killed within her first hours in the world. I didn’t finish that one.
Faith is smart, adaptable, and quick in the uptake when she finds herself transported to another world. She quickly figures out what’s going on when she’s about to sacrificed to the Battle God, Aron, and when he makes an appearance, she gets looped into being his Anchor. Her humanity is the exact reason she’s the best person to assist him in his journey, and bring him from Arrogance to a better version of his complete self.
Aron’s journey is also pretty compelling, since we get to see him go from one single way of being, to realizing that humanity really depends on him, and being more compassionate when dealing with them.
In general, Ruby Dixon does a great job with her characterization across most of her books. There are a few examples of sometimes sacrificing the plot to the sexual scenes, but for the most part, I love her characters and want to read more about them.

An exciting portal fantasy romance that's sure to leave you wishing you had your own Aspect!
5⭐️3🌶Faith is an amusing, high-spirited main character and the way she navigates the new world she finds herself in is downright hilarious. Her interactions with Aron, from the beginning, are fantastic. Aron is arrogant, but also very humorous in his own right and when he gets mad... Whew! Looking for a touch-her-and-💀 vibe? With a splash of a dirty mouth and a sprinkle of one bed (with a twist)? Look no further!As they make their way through this new (to them) world, the banter grows, the tension builds, and the action intensifies, leaving me wanting more and more by the minute. In true Ruby Dixon fashion, the spice was phenomenal and the perfect compliment to these two and their adventure.I'm hooked on this series and I've already started Sworn to the Shadow God. Ruby knows what we like and she delivers in this series!And the narrator for the audiobook was absolutely wonderful.Read if you like: punished gods, spiderwebs, being the only Earthling on a new planet, baths, battle axes, and sharing your bed.
