This was a fun read. I had no expectations going into this book but was presently surprised with it.
The idea for this book, gods choosing mortals to fight for them, was well done. I enjoyed most of the trials although there are a few trials I wished we had gotten more details on. They weren’t too repetitive but at times they lacked suspense. Near the end I couldn’t imagine how the author would fit the remaining tasks in, and they ended up doing the one thing I hate most. They had the main charter be unconscious for some of the tasks. Why! It felt lazy and annoying.
It was hard at times to remember that this was an adult book as it did read as more of a young adult story. This is mainly to do with the main charter. Things like she came off as in her late teens then in her twenties or how she could be strong one minute and week the next. I did wish there was a little more detail on her decisions as well as I wasn’t always sure why she was helping others.
The romance on the other hand was surprisingly good. It is an instant attraction romance, but they don’t get together right away. It had good tension and there were some moments that were electric to read. This is a respectful of boundaries romance that is done well.
There will be another book in the series, and I will probably give it a try.
