I was hesitant to try this one due to the cover, but I'm glad I did! I had so much fun reading about Faith and her misadventures in fantasy misogyny land. I loved her bickering with Aron. He started out a massive dick and ended still a dick, which I enjoyed. I really liked how even though arrogant Aron is completely full of himself, his attitude is pretty deserved. I also liked how he slowly became more affectionate and thoughtful through his experience traveling with and protecting Faith. Some of Faith's dialogue did feel a little dated.
