This was a tense conclusion to the book Divine Rivals. I found it incredibly slow and hard to read, but this is not due to the quality of writing. I found this book so slow due to the absolute panic and stress I maintained throughout its entirety that something bad would happen to Iris and Roman. They are so precious to me and this book had me afraid to finish it on the chance that it would break my heart. 

I do wish that there was more of a
final showdown with Dacre at the end, and it also felt like a strange cop out to have Enva unable to help or leave the city limits.
I also wish that we
saw more of Attie & Tobias, as well as Marisol & Keegan. The deaths of Forrest and Prindle were upsetting to me as well, mainly concerning Prindle since Forrest kind of sucks imo after he dragged Iris away from Roman in Divine Rivals.


This book will absolutely have you on the edge of your seat the entire time. I recommend reading this on a weekend where you have the time to cope with the inevitable anxiety that will ensue.
