Title: Ruthless Vows

Series: Letters of Enchantment #2

Author: Rebecca Ross

Two weeks have passed since Iris Winnow returned home bruised and heartbroken from the front, but the war is far from over. Roman is missing, and the city of Oath continues to dwell in a state of disbelief and ignorance. When Iris and Attie are given another chance to report on Dacre’s movements, they both take the opportunity and head westward once more despite the danger, knowing it’s only a matter of time before the conflict reaches a city that’s unprepared and fracturing beneath the chancellor’s reign.

Since waking below in Dacre’s realm, Roman cannot remember his past. But given the reassurance that his memories will return in time, Roman begins to write articles for Dacre, uncertain of his place in the greater scheme of the war. When a strange letter arrives by wardrobe door, Roman is first suspicious, then intrigued. As he strikes up a correspondence with his mysterious pen pal, Roman will soon have to make a decision: to stand with Dacre or betray the god who healed him. And as the days grow darker, inevitably drawing Roman and Iris closer together…the two of them will risk their very hearts and futures to change the tides of the war.

The conclusion! I inhaled Divine Rivals so I needed (yes, needed) to read this book!

We come back 2 weeks after we left off in Divine Rivals, Roman is with Dacre with no memories and Iris is back in Oath with her brother, Forrest.

But magical typewriters to the rescue (this is such a fab plot point!)

The story then continues with the battle of the gods, war planning and the battle that Iris and Roman are also plotting!

Did I love this as much as DR? No.
But did I still enjoy it? Yes!

Do I think this could have been a larger standalone instead of 2 books?
Yes.

Do I love these characters with all my heart? Yes, yes I do!
