Ruthless Vows book review


 Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross is the sequel to Divine Rivals, and a highly anticipated release by many (including me). 

This series follows Iris and Roman who are connected by their enchanted typewriters during a war between two fighting gods. This is a YA romantasy series that feels like it’s set in WW1, I would say that it is on the older side of YA as there are many tougher topics covered but does still have a YA feel. 


We get both Iris and Roman’s POVs throughout the story which leads us to understand what is going on better but you also get to see as they fall for each other. We also get to see the letters they wrote to each other which makes for a fantastic and moving story. 


We follow both Iris and Roman throughout the story, we also frequently see Attie, Tobias and a few other characters during Ruthless Vows and many of them also take key roles in the story. I love these characters and throughout the story I was constantly on the edge of my seat hoping for the best for them, as things get tough. The ending is left open for many of these characters but it felt absolutely perfect. 


These characters are all so well written and felt so perfect for the story. We had characters on both sides of the war and characters who were just trying to get by. While we do have a strong plot in this book, the characters pull the story and it wouldn’t be the same without them and I do think that the book wouldn’t be anywhere as sad without the great characters who you really care about. 


I love this duology so much and don’t think I’m going to be forgetting about it anytime soon. It is such a fantastic story, with some great characters and writing that you just don’t want to put down. The characters and the writing truly are what makes these two books what they are. I felt all the emotion while reading this and that is exactly what I want. 


I don’t plan on stopping recommending these books anytime soon and if you haven’t already I strongly encourage you to pick them up. This is a fun YA romantasy story that doesn’t rely too much on the fantasy elements for you to love the story. A five star series all the way that I don’t think I’ll shut up about anytime soon.

The Match book review

  Back in April I was recommended my first Sarah Adams book and really enjoyed it however it wasn’t my favourite type of romance book so when I saw this one had been rereleased and was 99p on Kindle I knew that I needed to read it.  The Match follows Evie who works for a company that trains service dogs to help people with all sorts of disabilities after her life was changed when she got a service dog to help with her epilepsy and when she meets Jacob when trying to convince him how much a service dog would help his daughter she begins to fall for him and his small family.  This was such a light brilliant romance that I just wanted to read and continue to be immersed in the story for as long as I could. I loved all of our major characters particularly Evie, Jacob and Sam (Jacob's daughter). Sam just added the best things to the story and the romance going on between Evie and Jacob. She was also a brilliant character on her own that you really felt for and you just underst...

Daughter of the Pirate King book review

  I was expecting to enjoy this book but nowhere near as much as I did and I really wished I could have given it five stars but it was just slightly off of the mark.  Daughter of the Pirate King is the first book in a duology which follows Alosa who is the well-trained seventeen year old pirate daughter of the Pirate King himself, on a mission to find part of an ancient secret map on an enemy pirates ship.  This is possibly the first pirate fantasy I’ve ever read, but I loved it and need to read more because there were so many fantastic elements in it that I want to read more. I also now want to read all of Tricia Levenseller’s backlist because of how stunning this book was and I want to see more of it continued in her other books, also the UK covers are absolutely stunning and I really want to own them all! There were twists in this book I was not expecting, characters I fell in love with and moments that made me really laugh.  Alosa knew what she wanted and how to ...

The Eternal Ones book review

  I may be posting this a month after I promised I would on my bookstagram but better late than never. If you want to see more of my immediate thoughts on this conclusion to a series I have been reading for years my booksta post is here .  The Eternal Ones is the final book in the YA fantasy Deathless series by Namina Forna which follows Deka as she discovers more about the world and who she is. We follow on quickly after The Merciless Ones ended with no major plot points happening in between. As with the previous two books, there are many content warnings that come with the story, it doesn’t have any new strong ones so if you have read and been fine with the previous two you should be fine but if you are new to the series then I would recommend checking them out.  Throughout the books we continue to follow Deka’s POV which works really well for the story as we discover so much and being in Deka’s head means we are kept in the know nd see how things and discoveries unrav...
