I loved this book!
Why haven't I read this sooner?!

I've previously read some of Ruby Dixon's books and I was quite surprised with this one.
The world-building was amazing. The story of ascending gods who need redemption and in their journey they need a human to "ground" them. It had it all, the new interesting world, gods, character development, wonderfully written banter between the main characters, a kick-ass heroine, and a possessive, godlike hero. Of course, the spice is a must in Ruby Dixon books and this time it was just that, the perfect spice for a great story.
What I like when I read fantasy is when the book starts slowly with just a few characters so I can get into the story and the variety of characters comes in gracefully throughout the development of the story. This was just a perfect example of that. Chefs kiss!
Both Faith and Aron are in the same position at the start, their need to find their way home, and that is just the start of their journey together while they find their way they find their rightful place in their world. There are a lot of emotions entangled in this web of different kinds of characters and with that comes great character development. This was a slooow burn romance and it comes in the story with perfect timing. Both of them were not perfect in every way and that is why they are so relatable.
This was a fun and enjoyable read, and I will be diving into the next one. I'm looking forward to further exploring this world.
