Divine Rivals: A Novel (Letters of Enchantment, 1)

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. Her best bet is to win the columnist promotion at the Oath Gazette.

To combat her worries, Iris writes letters to her brother and slips them beneath her wardrobe door, where they vanish—into the hands of Roman Kitt, her cold and handsome rival at the paper. 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.

Shadow and Bone meets Lore in Rebecca Ross's Divine Rivals, an epic enemies-to-lovers fantasy novel filled with hope and heartbreak, and the unparalleled power of love.

“When Roman finally looked at her, time seemed to stall. His eyes were keen, as if he could see everything that dwelled in her—the light and the shadows. Her threads of ambition and desire and joy and grief. Never had a man looked at her in that way.”

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Format: Ebook No regrets on this one at all! Was not a book on my TBR or one I was truly motivated to start, but I am glad I did! My bookclub truly knows what's best for me. With this book's unique storyline set in a time where most wouldn't dare to pair with Gods and magic, this was a real treat..... War is ever present and looming. But even with this, life must go on. The true feelings and relatability of the characters and situations have made this one a home run. The main character's backstory and journey left me in pieces with her goals, not even relating to finding love or romance. This was refreshing. #Rebeccaross #enemiestolovers #divinerivals #bookreview #realityescapeartist777 #bookworm #bookstagram #booktok

I went into this expecting something like ACOTAR. At first I was disappointed because it was.. barely a fantasy. However the story really pulled me in and it was beautiful. And THAT ENDING. 5 stars for the ending alone.

Not at all what I usually reach for but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. I highlighted so many passages in this book, it's just beautifully written. I didn't love the ending but I immediately downloaded the 2nd book to continue the journey!

This is going to be one of my top reads of 2023! I cannot wait for the second book to come out in December.
