I was excited to pick this up after reading and enjoying "Divine Rivals".
"Ruthless Vows" picks up almost immediately after the conclusion of "Divine Rivals". Iris has finally been reunited with her brother, but she still has no idea where her husband, Roman is. With nothing else to do but try to report the truth, Iris heads back to the front lines, both to try to report on what is happening, and to try to find out what happened to Roman.
I really did not enjoy having to read how Roman lost his memories and had no idea who Iris was to him. I did however really appreciate that we got to watch them fall in love via typewriter all over again. They really are meant to be, and it is absolutely beautiful that it is words that bring them together.
This book does get into the politics of the war a little bit more, which I did not love, but I do think it was executed well and helped to push the story along.
Overall, I was satisfied with this ending. I was devastated for the losses, but my heart sang for those who found peace and love. I definitely recommend this duology to anyone who is looking for a light fantastical romance.
