Is there a better feeling than your most anticipated release of the year absolutely blowing it out of the park? I’m convinced Rebecca Ross can do no wrong. Everything she writes is gold.

Picking up not long after the (heartbreaking? Emotionally devastating?) end of Divine Rivals, Ruthless Bows follows the continuing story of love and gods and the star crossed romance of Iris Winnow and Roman Kitt. With gods wreaking havoc and magical typewriters once more the only tenuous link between the lovers, Ruthless Vows whisked us on a journey that had gripped from start to finish. I will forever be impressed by her ability to weave heart stopping plot full of tension and action with some of the most devastating tender romance I’ve ever come across. These two are soulmates, there’s no doubt about it.

Now that the duology is (soon to be!) complete, I can’t remember the last time I felt so satisfied with the culmination of a story. I’ll forever be an ardent Rebecca Ross fan, and Ruthless Vows cemented that for me 100x over!

Thank you NetGalley for gifting me a copy of this book.

After loving the first book, I was very excited but also worried about the second one as I thought it could not be as good as the first one.
I loved it as much. The writing is just incredible. Both in the story itself but also the letters.
Everytime a letter would come up I knew it would be funny, lovely or heartbreaking. I could read a book with only them in it.

Iris is just an amazing main character. She is bold, caring, and stubborn (but it’s usually to her advantage lol).

Their love story is so pure and so strong in these times of war.

I could not recommend this series enough. It’s a big hug that also destroys you.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

This book is one I will never forget. I finished it with tears in my eyes in a good way I promise. But do not expect smooth sailing for our main characters. This book had me gripped from start to finish. The side characters even drew me in. It was absolutely perfect and I wish it wasn't over. I feel like I just watched a movie with how detailed the world building is and how I could envision the scenes in my mind so clearly. 10 stars
