we are not worthy of rebecca ross and her gorgeous writing!!! I thought there were forever favorite quotes in DIVINE RIVALS but boy!!! the amount of times I either teared up at a quote or tabbed multiple times per page was unbelievable 😭🫶🏼 I am seriously in awe 

I’m in love with roman and iris so much 🥹 and after the super rude cliffhanger of DIVINE RIVALS, I’m very happy with how their story continued!! it was raw and real in a wartime romance saga, and while they did spend the majority of the book apart (crying in da club), it made the moments they had together even sweeter!!

the second installment of rebecca ross’s duology is definitely more focused on the war and the ethics of the gods - but this world is so beautifully written that I found myself completely enraptured by it! 

rebecca’s writing style blends together not just roman and iris’s story, but all of the side characters too!! I loved seeing attie and marisol again pls I want spin offs of them and their families 

these two books are among the most beautiful writing on my bookshelf 🥹🥹 everyone needs to read these thanks!!! just be ready for the inevitable ✨ emotional damage ✨
