I literally read this 2 weeks ago and cannot remember what happened. I disliked this one even more than divine rivals, which made me like book 1 even less because we didnāt get a satisfying conclusion. I was on my knees begging for some kind of plot twist like enva is actually the evil one and dacre is the misunderstood villain, but no. We barely get any romance in this one bc of Romanās amnesia and the fact that theyāre separated for 90% of the book. Idk what the point of getting them married was.
We did finally get some answers to the godsā backstory and a little bit of magic system explanation but not much. I wish I wouldāve DNFed but I wanted to give it a fair shot. Iām glad I rented this from my library so I didnāt waste money on this series. Unfortunately the audiobook was bad again, but only bc the writing is so boring, it seems like the narrators are just reading instead of performing. I really disliked the ending and how all the action played out. I stand by what I said about this series being better as historical fiction instead of fantasy, bc thereās barely any fantasy in if you take the gods out. Overall, I did not like the series and it was a struggle to get through, and obviously wonāt be rereading.

I wanted to love this book more, but the middle dragged on. Yet Rebecca wrote characters so lovely I had to finish to see their conclusion. Stepping back, the plot was great, there was just something missing compared to the first book. Iām still glad I read this sequel, and Iris will always hold my heart ā¤ļø
