Publisher's Summary

Orsina of Melidrie is a paladin of the Order of the Sun, sworn to drive out corruption and chaos wherever she finds it. She has been ordered to leave her home and travel around Vesolda in search of a great evil she is supposedly destined to destroy. But after two years of fighting monsters and demons and evil gods, she does not seem to be any closer to her goal - or ever returning home. 

Aelia is the Goddess of Caprice, the personification of poor decision-making. The Order of the Sun has classified her as a chaos goddess, meaning that her worship has been outlawed. During a run-in with Orsina, she is trapped in a mortal body, rendering her unable to leave Inthya. 

Aelia is found by Orsina again, but this time Orsina does not recognize her in her new body. So Aelia pretends to be a mortal woman who is fleeing an abusive family. Aelia plans to use Orsina as protection as she hunts down the magical relic that will free her from her mortal body. 

As Aelia and Orsina grow closer to one another, Aelia wrestles with her own desire to tell Orsina the truth about who she is, and her fear that Orsina will turn on her if she does. But the decision might not be hers after all, because their actions have not gone unnoticed by Aelia’s siblings.

The perfect Female X Female adventure/ romance.

I love this series and this is the best book in this series. I would even recommend reading/ listening to this book first since it greatly expands the world compared to the first book. The first two books do not have interacting stories so reading them out of order will not spoil anything.

Amazing

Once I started I found it difficult to pause. Brilliant world building. Great voice over.

I cannot recommend this enough!

I wrote a glowing review on the first book, and I will happily take time to do so again for this book. While the two books aren't connected they take place in the same world. Only this one is a little better, if perfection can be added to. The characters are distinctive and unique. These two will have you falling in love with their personalities as the story unfolds. Please please PLEASE! Give this book a try you will not regret it. I usually don't react to books while I read, but this one had me laughing, grinning, and my heart breaking along with the characters. The story is seamlessly wound around a love story to make both have equal parts in this book that is perfectly coupled with the narrator. The narration is wonderfully done!! She has distinct voices for each character, you will never be confused about who is talking despite the multitude. Enjoy!

Best

Best mortal + goddess lesbian romance I ever read.

word word word word word word

Amazing book

This book is adorable and perfect in every way possible. Great love story and characters

Better

I definitely liked this better than the first one, I like how they tie into each other.

Good book. Meh Narrator.

Narrator's high pitched rendition of stone of the characters highly irritating. The story is interesting and doesn't focus solely on romance which is good.

Best narrator and best writer

Wow. This book is so good! Charming and fun. Loved every single part of this book. And I loved narrators voice.. so sweet and sexy. Just loved it. Everything!!

Excellent read

I was much more enthralled with this book as I was with the first—not to knock it, I love both. Strong character development but I would have liked more world-building, maybe I missed it but with traveling characters I like to know the climate/surroundings (e.g. desert, plains, mountains etc). I nabbed the next book, I’m sold on the whole series already.

great Fantasy read

I received this book for free for a honest review.  I loved the characters and storyline.  loved the story and the love that develops. it flowed very well and held together.  The narrator did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life.  reccomend

Romantic fluff, but cerebral, humorous fluff.

The world Effie Calvin has created is beautiful and nuanced.

She introduces it so wonderfully through the eyes and minds of her characters.

My only gripe is the narrator chooses some off-beat pronunciations of fairly ordinary English words.
