Rebecca Ross's writing transports you. I wrote that in my Divine Rivals review as well, but after putting Ruthless Vows down, I also believe her words transport you back into a time when you were younger and so engrossed in the world your mind has created thanks to the book. This felt like a hug to 14 year old me, who always loved to spend her time in a fantasy world surrounded by things she only read in books. This fell right into that same category of books.
The world building was more detailed here with Roman exploring the Underling realm and the mythology behind Enva and Dacre unfolds itself more. I suppose the ending for Enva frustrated me a bit, but I can overlook that for a while because I was more hooked on Iris and Roman.
I loved the parallels between DR and RV, how she is the one writing anonymous letters to him and how she pines for him secretly. The letters always drive me to tears and yet hopeful that I will find a love like this someday. I love how the secondary characters got a voice in the book just before the war began to give the book a multifaceted outlook on war. To show that it's more than the story of two war correspondents. It honestly is one of my favourite sections in the book!
I hate that it's a duology because I truly enjoyed reading this and I hope to read more of her books next year. Think I may have found my new favourite author:)
