I loved this conclusion to the Divine Rivals duology! 

The book begins only a week or so after the conclusion of the first. Iris is back in Oath, confused and unsure about the whereabouts of Roman. Meanwhile, Roman is recovering on enemy lines. 

I enjoyed the resurrection of the love letters through magic typewriters, and just the world in general has an oddly nostalgic and whimsical vibe. 

The main characters, Iris and Roman, are believable and have such a genuine romance and relationship. 

I would have liked to know more about Enva and Dacre’s backstory and their relationship. It was hinted it a few times, but I wanted more explicit information. 

I also really enjoyed the Fairyloot bonus content at the end.
