Alexa, play The Great War by Taylor Swift
My heart was shattered and left empty by the ending of Divine Rivals. But at last, my heart is finally full again. I’m going to keep this as spoiler-free as I can. Buckle up, y’all. This story takes your heart through the fucking ringer.
Ruthless Vows is such a beautiful conclusion to Iris and Roman’s epic love story. Once again, Rebecca Ross’s writing is enchantingly beautiful. As if the story isn’t beautiful and full of life and love on its own, the way Rebecca writes it amplifies it tenfold.
The plot here is much more focused on the war and provides more insight on Dacre and Enva, the history of the gods and the war, and the truth behind Dacre’s army. And the world-building is just as well-done as Divine Rivals. I do wish we got a little more from the
We also get introduced to a few new characters that really impact the story and the characters we already love so deeply.
Iris and Roman. My babies. The reason I love this story so much. First, Roman’s fate was not what I was scared it was going to be. Thank god. Oh, and Iris is a little badass. Strong, resilient, hopeful against all odds. And while they spend much of the book separated, Iris and Roman’s love still radiates off these pages. Their love is so soft, so enduring, so pure. I just fucking love them. It is their love that makes me believe that love can truly conquer all—even war. And Peeta and Katniss would be so proud of them.
I read this with my heart coiled so tightly in my chest. I gasped. I cried. I scrumpt. The ending not only broke me but proceeded to put me back together again. And this is a wonderful conclusion to the Letters of Enchantment duology.

Quotes
“I don’t think we know what we’re made of until the worst moment possible happens. Then we must decide who we truly are and what is most important to us. I think we’re often surprised by what we become.”
__
“You may not be a goddess, but nor am I a god. Despite our mundane lives, perhaps we make our own magic with words.”
__
“But I must remind myself that sometimes we write for ourselves and sometimes we write for others. And sometimes those lines blur when we least expect them to. Whenever such happened in my past ... I remember that I have only been strengthened by it.”
__
“I would love to see your words catch fire with mine.”
__
“All those sharp-edged words of mine. All those thoughts that felt too difficult to speak aloud. I'm surprised you didn't run from me then."
"On the contrary. Your words only drew me to you."
__
“Which reminds me of one simple thing: how I love to lose to you. How I love to read your words and hear the thoughts that sharpen your mind. And how I would love to be on my knees before you now, surrendering to you and you alone.”
__
“Write me a story where there is no ending, Kitt. Write to me and fill my empty spaces."
