In this stunning conclusion to Rebecca Ross’ Divine Rivals duology, we continue to follow Iris and Kitt as the god’s war between Dacre and Enva forges ahead. Rebecca’s writing is beautiful and how she paints the picture of war, and its effects are soul-wrenching. She doesn’t shy away from the horrors of war and also, by default, the grief that accompanies it. I felt transported by her words & story - like I was right there with Iris, Attie, Kitt, Tobias, Forrest, and Sarah - feeling the fear, the anger, and the heart-breaking loss alongside them. I thought the pacing was great, the character’s (main and side) were all well-fleshed out, and the story does a wonderful job of showing how happy endings can be found in the mess - not perfect endings, but silver linings that you can cling to for hope and for new beginnings. A captivating love story that I highly recommend! FIve stars!!
