Kaitlyn‘s review of Letters of Enchantment Duet by Rebecca Ross
Young Adult Paranormal Romance published by Rebecca Ross 26 Dec 23
I did an audio reread of Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows last week because I was blessed with a Wild Reverence ARC and wanted a little refresher. Even though Wild Reverence is a standalone, set a long time ago in the world of Divine Rivals, I’m so glad I did a reread. We get to see a lot of the myths from Divine Rivals come to life, and it was great having it all fresh in my mind.
First of all, Divine Rivals is one of the best books ever written. It is such a beautiful story, and the audiobooks did a great job conveying the magic and yearning. I love this duology so much. I can’t put into words just how amazing it really is.
Secondly, I recently finished Wild Reverence and oh. my. god. It’s absolutely perfect. It has all the magic of Divine Rivals, but the style reminded me so much of A River Enchanted. And I didn’t think it was possible, but it is even more beautifully written than Divine Rivals. I know, right??
Rebecca has done it again. Another perfect masterpiece that I’ll forever be obsessed with.
Grade: A
Summary:
Divine Rivals:
When two young rival journalists find love through a magical connection, they must face the depths of hell, in a war among gods, to seal their fate forever.After centuries of sleep, the gods are warring again. But eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow just wants to hold her family together. Her mother is suffering from addiction and her brother is missing from the front lines.

When he anonymously writes Iris back, the two of them forge a connection that will follow Iris all the way to the front lines of battle: for her brother, the fate of mankind, and love
Ruthless Vows:
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.
