I absolutely adored every second of reading, Ross does an excellent job at conveying war, characters, and yearning. This is everything I want from a rivals to lovers book, and the mystery of the gods still has me open jawed from the ending twist.
Some books can definitely feel "more YA" then others. While some can be enjoyed by all ages, some employ writing and vocabulary that make it difficult to get through for older readers. Divine Rivals does not read like one would expect from a traditional YA book, it dealt with heavy topics, complex characters, and an engaging writing style that I was sucked into from page one.
I can't wait to read the sequel!
A must read!
