About a third through the halfway point of this sequel felt sluggish. I put the book down for a bit due to other life obligations and wasn't driven to pick it back up. However, I truly wanted to know what became of Roman, Iris, their families and friends, and the whole war between the gods. The second half of the narrative did not disappoint me. The mythology and history within this world are excellently crafted. The key part of Ross's writing that drove me forward was the strong relationships between characters. When someone felt joy or a loss, I felt it with them. Some characters' motivations and final acts were expected, but I appreciated how it all wrapped up.

This was more world development than character romance, so I understand people who didn't like it. But for me, it was a beautiful story (also sad) Although I liked Divine Rivals more.

💌“Write me a story where there is no ending, Kitt. Write to me and fill my empty spaces.”

“I betrayed you,” Roman began, “because I love her.” (…) “You never saved me, like you claim. In the field of Avalon Bluff. You didn’t save me, but Iris did.”💌

Spoilers ahe

„I betrayed you,” Roman began, “because I love her.“

After binge reading the first book in one sitting because it just was so good, it took me so long to finish this one. It was one of my most anticipated reads because of the first book but it wasn’t really it (for me). The Plot was captivating but also predictable at the same time.

I honestly didn’t really care about the plot especially after Roman got his memory’s back.

But it still was an amazing read. (Just not as good as the first book)

Rebecca Ross writing style is a 10/10, love it so much.

I really really enjoyed the dual povs and even more the letters.

Then I also love love love the characters.

Roman and Iris love story is too good,

I mean they found each other again and again. And I was so glad that they got the happy ending they deserved.
I also love Attie and Tobias. And of course Marisol and Keegan, although i wish Marisol would have appeared more often.
I cried multiple times because this book hit hard, especially the ending.

I just have one question left (maybe I didn’t pay enough attention when reading) but what happened to Keegan and Marisol?
Is keegan the new chancellor?? (I really hope so)

„Keep writing. You will find the words you need to share. They are already within you, even in the shadows, hiding like jewels. —C.”

I look forward to the next chapter. The one you will write in your story, as well as the one we write together.

Love, Iris“
