"Despite our mundane lives, perhaps we make our own magic with words."
"Their souls weren't mirrors but complements, constellations that burned side by side."
What can I say? Divine Rivals was magnificent and I enjoyed it a lot. I was really looking forward to seeing how the story resolved and I have to say... I was not disappointed. I think this was a perfect ending. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel at first because I felt like things were moving slowly. I mean I think honestly I was just bitter that Iris and Roman were separated still. I don't know what I was anticipating... okay yeah I do... I just wanted things to magically be fixed haha. However, my god that would have been so disappointing given the marvelous story that unfolds here. I just missed their beautiful and witty banter. Yet, we did get some side romances to make up for it and they were adorable.
Can I just say that the times this book had me on the edge of my seat was ridiculous. The emotions it made me experience were unfair. I mean I'm trying so hard not to spoil things but I cannot explain to you how hard that is. I enjoyed that this one was even more war focused, but like in ways that directly and seriously impacted all our characters. I enjoyed more of the Dacre/Enva story and I feel like they played a bigger role in this one than the first. I enjoyed the typewriters coming into play again; I don't know why but their is just something so sweet and beautiful about a romance that is mostly carried out in written letters.
I think what I loved most about this one was just how much love enabled our characters to do. They were willing to do anything for the ones they loved. It was heartwarming and heartbreaking all at once. I seriously cannot express to you the moments I laughed, cried and screamed at this book. I think it was executed beautifully and I really loved that our characters had to work for their happy ending. I love being reminded how much I enjoy YA stories sometimes they have this ability to transport you. Basically if you haven't read this series... and like also recommend it to everyone you know.
