Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

3.0

Divine Rivals was one of my most anticipated reads for 2024. I see it all over bookstagram and booktok and everyone raves about it so I was excited to see what all the fuss was about. Well, I read it and, in my opinion, it was just okay. The romance was sweet in lots of places and I liked the letters that Roman and Iris sent to each other but the fantasy aspect of the story fell flat for me. I think I would have enjoyed this book more if it was written as a historical romance with the only magical aspect being the type-writers that the two MCs use to communicate. The world building and magic system was just not detailed enough for me to be fully immersed and spoiled some of the romance for me.
