wow. wow wow wow. wow.
it’s currently 3:35 AM as i’m writing this. i was dumb and drank an energy drink at 11 pm, so i could read this into the wee hours of the morning, but i don’t think i’ve ever made a better decision. i’m so honored that i kicked 2024 off with this incredible book.
i genuinely think there couldn’t have been a more perfect continuation and conclusion to this story. ruthless vows took everything i loved from divine rivals and elevated it: the slow burn, the dual pining, the poet ...more

Wow.
This was well-written, to start with—poetry infused with everyday language.
I was drawn into the story even though the first book was not the gut-wrenching romance I had anticipated. Themes-wise, I think YA and fantasy are more prevalent. I felt that this was a fitting conclusion to the series.
The tale of Iris and Roman reminded me of Taylor Swift's Timeless. "Even in a different life, you still would've been mine. We would've been timeless." ...more

3.5 // i so wish i could’ve rated this higher because divine rivals was my absolute favorite book of last year. ruthless vows is a good continuation but i had such high expectations that, in a sense, the book felt underwhelming because of it. i felt like the story was moving too slowly, the action wasn’t as packed as the 1st book and the chemistry wasn’t as exquisite.
i still very much enjoyed it, this duology means a lot to me, iris and roman are my literal babies and i WILL protect them with m ...more

i am so emotional right now. in 2023, i started this duology and absolutely fell in love with the story, the characters, everything. then this book was released and i dnf'ed it. now, 1 year and 4 months later, i have finally reached the conclusion. and it absolutely pains me to say that this book wasn't amazing. let's discuss.
my main gripe was the fact that this was just boring. until the last 60-ish pages, it felt very low stakes. i really only kept reading because i was so close and de ...more
