Rebecca Ross's writing is just beautiful. I was initially unsure about finishing the duology, but I'm glad I did. I found 'Divine Rivals' to be good, but this was better. Maybe this is partially due to listen to 'Ruthless Vows' on audio. The choice of narrator was excellent. 

And also, Roman and Iris are a romantic couple for the ages.

REBECCA ROSS STRIKES AGAIN!! I am sobbing as I write this review. Iris and Roman, married but separated by Darce have to once again find each other through their words. Roman has his memories removed and Iris is back in Oath searching for a way to fix what's been broken. This book is sooo much better than Divine Rivals. I'm not sure if its the pre established relationships, the more evolved climax, or the constant stream of activity but Ruthless Vows took my breath away. Between the gut wrenching end, the beautiful relationship between Iris and Roman, and the satisfying conclusion of the duology this is everything I wanted it to be and more.

Great sequel with a number of twists and turns that I enjoyed. It wasn’t an overly predictable plot and there were great tensions and mystery as well as a great theme of love and sacrifice over power and fear. 

Some of it felt a little gappy in the descriptions or actions at times, and I felt like I had to infer a lot more when it could have been a little more immersive, but the emotional side of things was well described and written. I enjoyed it a lot.

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

A weak conclusion to the duology. The story dragged for the longest time, then it was nothing but rushed. The plot was half-baked. Too many plot holes and developments that didn't make sense or seemed unnecessary.
