Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross
5.0

Beautiful!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The days to come will only grow darker. And when you find something good? You hold on to it. You don’t waste time worrying about things that won’t even matter in the end. Rather, you take a risk for that light.”

This book caught me by surprise! I have seen it all over social media and I always get worried about the overhype. But this book delivered. Rebecca Ross’ writing is so stunning and interesting. This books reads as historical fiction with just a touch of fantasy. It took a bit for me to get get into it since it’s not my usual style I gravitate to but it was worth the stick out.

The relationships between the main characters (I don’t want to spoil!) is just so heartfelt and emotional that you just feel like your feeling everything they are. Your feeling all of their emotions and reactions so deeply. Iris is known for writing beautifully but the entire book reads that way.
I cried MULTIPLE times, that’s not easy to get me to do (less than 10 makes have made me cry). All the feels…all the feels.

The plot is intriguing, there were times I could not read fast enough. I didn’t want this to end!! If it’s in your TBR…bump it up to the top. I can’t wait for the sequel!
