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.

I did not enjoy this book the same way I enjoyed the first two books. I knew Hedonism was going to be hard for me to like. There is no slow burn like in the first two. The spice was hot, but I didn't like the "scratching an itch" aspect to most of it. It turned me off, and I didn't feel any romance to it. 

Out of all the gods so far, Kassam would be the one I would love the most because he's happy, talks to animals, and takes care of nature, but the Hedonism just ruined it for me really. That's just me. Others may not have an issue with it as much. 

I would still happily read more in this series if Ruby writes another because I love the world building and mythology of it.
