DIVINE RIVALS | Rebecca Ross

Divine Rivals is a two-book duet so be prepared for it to end on quite the cliffhanger and be ready to read Ruthless Vows next which sounds SO good! I had high hopes for Divine Rivals, as it was one of my most anticipated books of 2023, and I was not disappointed. Told from the perspective of Greek gods, Lovely War is a story about love and war, a perfect fit for fans of Divine Rivals.Tired and affected by this, Hart decides to start writing letters to an unknown friend due to feeling lonely. Two weeks have passed since Iris Winnow returned home bruised and heartbroken from the front, but the battle is far from over. It began in a small, sleepy town surrounded by gold. Seven months ago, the wheat fields were ready for harvest, nearly swallowing a place called Sparrow, where sheep outnumber people four to one, and it rains only twice a year due to an old charm cast by an angry—and now slain—god, centuries ago. By the time Iris was almost done for the day, she felt heavy from the obituaries. She always wondered what had caused the deaths, and although that information was never included, she imagined people would be more inclined to read the eulogies if it was. Do you know that I was going to simply give the position to Kitt after he got his feet wet here?” Zeb continued. “That is, until your essay won the Gazette-in-Winter Competition. Out of the hundreds of essays I sifted through, yours caught my eye. And I thought, Here is a girl who has raw talent, and it would be a shame if I let that slip away.”
