Divine Rivals
What a beautiful and captivating story! 'Divine Rivals' weaves together elements of magic, history, and romance to create a truly immersive reading experience.
Set against the backdrop of a war among gods, the book follows the journey of Iris Winnow, a determined young journalist striving to keep her family together amidst turmoil. The historical nods, such as typewriters and trains, add a charming layer to the narrative, blending seamlessly with the magical elements infused by the gods' presence.
At the heart of the story lies the budding romance between Iris and Roman Kitt, her rival journalist. Their connection, forged through anonymous letters that transcend space and time, is both tender and electric. I found myself rooting for them as they navigated the challenges of their world and their budding feelings. The magical letters, in particular, added an enchanting touch to their relationship. Roman was just the best.

While the story is fast-paced and filled with intrigue, I couldn't help but wish for more depth in certain aspects. The ending, though gripping, felt rushed, leaving me yearning for more resolution. I was yelling out loud for the last couple of chapters. I am SO happy I waited to read this after the final installment. I am jumping into Ruthless Vows this week. To all who had to wait for the next book, you're champions! π
