Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross
adventurous
emotional
medium-paced
3.5
3.5 isn’t necessarily a bad rating, but considering Divine Rivals was nearly 5 for me, this was a disappointment. A lot of it felt disjointed & didn’t make me feel anything like the first one did. I didn’t like the focus of it, either. To borrow from opalmars’ review further down:
With Divine Rivals I was engrossed the whole way through, and I felt everything so deeply. With Ruthless Vows I was bored throughout most of the book, and I found myself wishing for it to be over, which is terrible, not only because nobody likes to read a boring book, but also because after loving the 1st book, I thought I’d love this one too.
I agree with everything they wrote in theirs & would encourage others to read it as well. They said it better than I could (there are spoilers though fyi). Link: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/e57dc547-529a-452e-ba45-ee9a7a67adc2
Overall, this sequel definitely lacked in the magic & feelings of the first. But still 3.5 because there were some beautiful sentences & I love Iris & Roman.
