Was a nice wrap up to the first book. It mirrored the plot of the first, but still kept the storyline moving to a resolute finish. Since it was a war setting, I appreciate that the author kept some bitter notes to the happy ending.

ES:

Ya se ha acabado mi nueva obsesión...y no sé qué va a pasar después de leer este libro.
Necesitaba transportarme lejos de mi vida y este libro me ha dejado viajar hasta Oath con una maleta para máquina de escribir, enamorarme de nuevo del periodismo y vivir otra vida. Ojalá esa vida durara más.
Sé que este libro no es perfecto, pero ha sido mi oportunidad para dejar de ser yo por las noches y pensar que había cartas llenas de amor que viajaban entre armarios también para mi.

Pienso leer más cosas de Rebecca, por supuesto.

EN:

I did not want this to end. I needed more Iris and Roman. I needed more love letters full of longing and sweet words.
It is not a secret among those who love me that these past months have been a nightmare...and this book was my safe space during that time. The best moment of the day. 
Probably it is not the perfect book, but it was the book I needed. I needed to scape to Oath, find myself in Iris and feel in love with journalism again (a career I studied but I could not find opportunities in the way I wanted). Old-fashion typewriters in hand, gathering stories, all mixed with magic. 
Through Iris and Roman love story I had my heart pounding, wishing magic ley lines were real, waiting for the next letter. 
I am a romantic, I am not going to lie. I wished for love letters of my own. But their love story serve me as a shelter for when stress and sadness was too much in my reality. 
I also found that this story allowed me to find joy while also mirroring the desperation I was feeling in my real life. All mixed, all at the same time.
I wish I could explore Iris and Roman story further, as they have accompanied me in such hard times. It is hard to say goodbye.

3.5

I can appreciate the pacing of this book but I did find myself getting a bit impatient from honestly like 50% on. But it was fairly satisfying all the same. I honestly never totally got to a place where the typewriter/city vibe meshed with the whole gods/magic thing, idk what was missing in the world building for me but I just never felt totally connected there. Not my fav duology but I can see things ppl would enjoy about it

 I was just so bored with this. It doesn’t hit the same as Divine Rivals and there wasn’t nearly enough romance for me. It just left something to be desired. The pacing was so slow through the first half, Dacre and Enva’s relationship wasn’t expanded upon nearly enough. The tone was so jarringly back and forth. And so much stuff was just randomly thrown in without much expansion.

My only beef with this book is the magic, gods, and goddesses were not explained in much detail. Otherwise a nice wrap up to a good story. No there is no spice in this one either for those wondering
