When I started Divine Rivals I wasn’t sure what to expect. I struggled with the slow pace at first, but very quickly found it endearing. The write by was beautiful, the character development was exquisite, and it is such a breath of fresh air from your typical fantasy! Love love love, and can’t wait to start the next one!

i have thought and thought how to rate and review this book and i don’t know. so the first thing i wanna say is that this is a personal review, with my opinions and how the book affected me. because i can see why so many people like it and enjoyed it and gave it 5 stars. i’ll give that to you. for me personally though, it didn’t shock me. it didn’t grip me, shake me, hold me. in fact, i was mostly unaffected.

well, if you leave out the fact that i almost started crying when lieutenant lark died.

the concept of the typewriters and the magical connection was really cool, but isabel, honey, i would’ve preferred if you didn’t convince rebecca to add roman’s pov. i felt like it kinda took away the tension. if we, along with iris, wouldn’t have known who she was writing to, i feel like it would’ve been a lot more ✨dramatic✨ (though it would’ve been really predictable).
the characters didn’t convince me, i mean, they were cool but they had nothing extraordinary about them.
calling them “enemies to lovers”? that is a discrimination to this trope. rivals i can live with, but honey, you invited him to have a sandwich with you in like, the second chapter. that isn’t very enemy-like of you.
the setting was quite interesting, i liked the historical aspect combined with the fantasy aspect. but i was confused. i have no clue what the gods are actually about and i feel like it was not explained thoroughly enough.
all in all, didn’t catch me. it was entertaining though, i finished it in nearly a day.

the end broke me.

Instant five stars. This book was the kind of predictable that made you hope you were wrong and any drop in action left you waiting for the other shoe to drop. It was so tense and well-developed. I was so scared to start it but so worth the hype.
