Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon
5.0

This book was an absolute JOY! I was absolutely terrified from the start of the book for the seemingly imminent rape, torture, or other misogynistic thing that was going to happen - but that’s just the world setting and Faith spends a lot of time kicking that narrative to the curb. She is a surprisingly relatable character who is downright hilarious. I was impressed with how relaxed she was sometimes dealing with a totally different world but a little suspension of disbelief.

Aron was exactly what I would think a god would be like and his character arc was also just such a pleasant twist. I also absolutely love the world building. I thought this was going to be more of a smut book with a side of a plot but it was SO much plot and gorgeous descriptions of fantasy places and people. I absolutely loved it and I still have a book hangover. 4.5.
