Sworn to the Shadow God by Ruby Dixon

3.0

---

3.5. I enjoyed the setting and the road-trip style plot that was reminiscent of the first book, and I loved Rhagos. I especially love how thoughtful, careful, and clever he had to be with his words because he was the Lies aspect. But speaking of, it’s unbelievable to me that Max didn’t figure that out sooner. I knew from their first conversation that he was Lies. For the first half of the book, Max is so unbelievably dumb and oblivious. She draws every possible wrong conclusion and she has very little emotional maturity. She improves as the book goes on, but it still really detracted from the story. Overall I still enjoyed this, though, because at the end of the day I’m a sucker for any god of death/hades love story.
