Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

3.5 stars

a romance with a dash of fantasy. this book was engaging and binge-worthy but not necessarily because it was good. the fantasy world was super underdeveloped and it didn't feel all that creative or novel. the myths were basically just a persephone and hades retelling with music for some flavor. the romance itself was fun. it felt a bit rushed at the end but i enjoyed it for the most part. i probably will not read the second book because i do not really care that much about what happens next

Honestly more like 10/10. I was drawn in from the beginning and fell in love with Iris immediately. The premise was unique and I loved every bit of it. The writing is beautiful and she paints the scenes with her words so effortlessly. Probably my top read so far this year. Excited to start the next.

This book was so unbelievably cute and well written

Iris essentially risked her life to make sure Roman got down. Roman threw his body on top of Iris to protect her. This man put himself between Iris and a grenade like hellooooo?!?!!  Roman quit his job, ended his engagement; and traveled 600 kilometers into war-torn land just to be with her and he read her letters every night 🥹🥹🥹🥹

This was a really good story, I enjoyed Iris and Romans story of their relationship and the story of the war that ends up happening. I found it to be quite emotional sometimes and it was a great one to read since I don’t read books with a war that often. I give it 4.25 stars 😊
