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.Show more

'Divine Rivals' was a magical experience. The words were weaved in such an obviously experienced way that I was pleasantly impressed. Rebecca Ross is a talented author who incorporated her lengthy vocabulary into the paragraphs, vocabulary I learned (I read a lot so it's rare to find new words used in the stories I read).
Iris Winnow is such an inspiration to young - and old - people who are passionate of pursuing a career in writing (such as myself). It shows her struggle of wanting to best her opponent of equal talent. Rebecca portrayed Iris' personality plainly as a stubborn young woman who believes she needed to shoulder life's problems and weight alone. She then found her own way to cope: talking to a faceless, nameless pan-pal. It is realistic, really; if we go through hard times, people like her don't want to go to friends and familiar faces to vent, she wants to go to somebody she will probably never meet (little did she know).
Roman Kitt is practically the opposite to Iris in preferences but almost identical in circumstances. It was fun to watch him struggle to conceal his feelings and troubling to watch him mask his emotions in front of his own family. He grew as a person, I saw, evolving into a kind, thoughtful, and caring character.
So yes, it is safe to say I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.

I LOVE a good historical romance and this hit the exact stride I always look for. The story dips into the fantasy realm while staying grounded in something relatable to many readers with a WWI era war torn society. Ross is great at nuancing trauma, stress and hopelessness for both Iris and Roman, but manages to bring them both to love and self acceptance with each other. Very well written story, powerful in moments, incredibly delicate in others. Can’t wait to read the second book!

This book has a slow start but then it starts to get better. It is about war between two Gods who they call the Divine. It also has a love story involved!
