'their souls weren't mirrors but complements,
constellations that burned side by side.'

did my most anticipated release of the year disappoint me? yes 😁 at this point i would have been content with 200 more pages in divine rivals because what was this. unnecessary? ✓ useless? ✓ boring? ✓

i know people were asking for more world building and information regarding the whole dacre enva thing but girl we didn't mean make the whole book about them! we don't care. we literally came for irisroman and irisroman only. the reason divine rivals is phenomenal is because of iris and roman's relationship so i don't know who told you it was a good idea to minimize it here. especially the awkward and boring letters which BROKE my heart because their letters in divine rivals are my whole heart :((

"i would love to see your words catch fire with mine."

chapter 35 deserves five stars. last chapter was cute but not the conclusion i hoped for. & the fact there were still plot holes lmao. overall, if you don't read this, you wouldn't be missing out and it pains me to say that.

initially gave this 3 stars but that was truly a stretch.. it felt more like 2 stars so thank you jessy for giving me the final push, love how we help each other hate books <3


"how i love to lose to you. how i love to read your words and hear the thoughts that sharpen your mind. and how i would love to be on my knees before you now, surrendering to you and you only."
