Absolutely adore all the books in the Aspect & Anchor series! This one shakes up the formula a bit as Kassam is found in our world by the FMC. Hedonism is a really fun aspect to read, and our wild god is definitely wild so leave your pearls at the door. This one fell off for me a bit at the ending, I felt like as a reader we deserved to see his confrontation with a certain angry goddess. My other very nit picky annoyance was the FMC’s inner dialogue and complaints about herself start to get very repetitive in spots and it stalled some of the plot progress for me. 

Hoping for many more books in this series! Kassam might be my favorite God of them all though.

The sex really slows down the first half and I have mixed feelings about how the female main character is written. Idk, overall I just wasn't overtaken by the magic and wonder that I felt with the second book.
