My goodness. This duology has my heart. I really loved this sequel and how everything ended. Rebecca’s prose is gorgeous - I really felt these words deep in my bones.

My only small criticisms are that the plot is very heavily focused on the gods, whereas Divine Rivals was more focused on Iris and Roman’s romance. And the conflict was resolved a little too easily at the end.
