A review by abiscalia
Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross

3.0

while this was a great sequel to the first book, the whole thing felt boring to me. the plot was so focused on the war that the love story between Roman and Iris was just in the background. the whole thing was so slow and i struggled to stay interested while reading. i was hoping that we would get the reverse of what happened in the first book, with Roman falling in love with “Elizabeth” through their letters and then finding out later that it was really Iris, but sadly this didn’t happen. in terms of the plot overall, this book did a great job in concluding the duology and wrapping everything up nicely. nothing felt unfinished or rushed, and there were no major plot holes i noticed. however, i really do wish it included more about Roman and Iris romantically
