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.”

It was good. The book is YA which I don't normally read but I kept hearing about it. The writing was really good. The letters that they right to each other are beautiful and deep. I could defiantly see how they fell in love without even meeting each other (technically only on Iris's side). The book has an interesting plot line, and I don't regret dipping my toe into the YA pool.

I was hesitant to start this book after mixed reviews, but once I started it was a two day read. I was pleasantly surprised to find some of my favourites- war, romance, fantasy, strong fmc, a mmc who has character and some depth… overall an enjoyable read. I love the letter angle and want to read more about these Alouettes, the Little family, the magic laylines…. Book 2 will be next on my tbr
