Servant to the Spidae

Aspect and Anchor, Book 4

De: Ruby Dixon

Narrado por: Ja'Air Bush

All my life I have served. One lord after another, I have given them my time, my body, and my soul. My newest lord, however, is not one but three.

I have become the anchor to the three Aspects of Fate, the mortal chosen to teach the gods humanity. It seems an impossible task for any mortal to satisfy a god's wishes and I must serve three?

Three lords means three times the frustration, three times the petty demands . . .

. . . and three times the pleasure.

Contains mature themes.

AMAZING!

This is one of my favorite book out of this series. It is worth a credit.

the only problem is that *the story* isn't long enough!

Holy crap, this was so fluffy and spicy at the same time. perfectly encapsulates reverse harem romance to a T. very heartwarming and beautiful. Definitely a good afternoon read

Sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, …

The series is about gods learning humanity through sex. In the prior books, things ran long with the gods out in the world, interacting with people, dealing with life and death stakes, and grapppling with having their aspects divided into four vices.

Here, almost all of the canon is dispensed with and the Aspect/Anchor plot is distilled to one thing: sex. Here, you won’t find the three gods of Fate out in the world, learning how to interact with kids, talking to old men about a life well lived, or discovering the wondrous creations of mankind. Instead, the only teaching tool is sex and the only setting is a spiderwebbed castle.

Despite the one-track approach, I found the three Fates charmingly awkward and Yalena charmingly compassionate as she teaches them the joys of sex. There’s a lot of sex with each of the Fates separately, then eventually in twos and threes. This was 100% about sex: sex, sex, talk about sex, sex, gifts after sex, sex, sex, learning about sex, sex, sex, sex, sex, sex. No villain. No danger. No plot … except humanization via the power of the hooha. Even at 1/3 the length of the other books, it started to run long. Still, it was zero angst, sweetly awkward, and short enough not to wear out its welcome.

Love the Character Building. Narration is Lackluster.

I really enjoy this series, but this particular narrator (Ja'air Bush) is definitely not my favorite. I had listened to one of her narrations before and really struggled, but her solo performance was much easier to handle than previous duet. Ruby Dixon did a great job building the characters and concluding the Spidae's story. I would recommend the story, but not so much the performance.

Loved the story of the Spidae

This was a sweet story and I love the narrator’s voice along with her emotional tones.

Serving 3 Gods

She didn’t know if she would be their anchor, but she didn’t like the idea of not being settled. Being their anchor, she realized that they were different from the others. She grew to love them and they also cared for her. Sweet story, but very sexual. Good narrative .

Some idiolects are just not for my ears, this narrator’s is one such.

The narrator’s idiolect is difficult to listen to, as she mostly speaks every three words as a phrase. It’s like someone who is out of breath and can only get three word out at a time, and the occasional sentence. It’s very disjointed and lacks the smooth flow of a narration, it feels solely read. Read three words, three more, three more, manage five…she doesn’t use natural phrasing to form a smooth flowing fully formed thought.

I like this series and actually purchased this book. I recommend only listening if in the plus catalog. It was the one I was really looking forward to, but the stunted narration kills the novel.

I don’t know how she did it

This entire series has been one of my favorites for awhile so I was eager to see the next book but I couldn’t help being hesitant with this one since it was about the Spidae and I didn’t think it would be possible for me to be able to really like them given how creepy they were and not to mention the fact that I am terrified of spiders! But thanks to Ruby’s storytelling magic I was able to like them as a couple and ignore the freaky spider stuff. That said it’s not my favorite book in the series and I would have preferred there were a lot less spiders, but definitely worth listening to.

Recommend listening to the prior books first. Not a stand alone.

Eagerly awaiting the next book the in series!!

Well written

It well written and I enjoyed it, but I think it because I read the other in the series. It not a bad story, just not to my taste.

I enjoy fantasy, sci-fi and paranormal romance cause there usually an adventure along with the romance. There isn't any adventure in this storey, it one girl falling in love with 3 guys. No bad guys, no conflict. It well written and a good story but if you ae like me and want the adventure it not for you.

A good story.

A good story in a good series. Loved the way you got to know their story. Really enjoyed the narrator. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
