📚 Book of the Week
Ruthless Vows (Letters of Enchantment, Book 2) by Rebecca Ross
Rating: ★★★★☆
Ruthless Vows picks up after Divine Rivals (Nina’s Notes BOTW #93) where Winnow and Roman are separated on the battlefield.
Roman was captured by the god Dacre, had his memories stolen and is now forced to report on the war from the other side, while Winnow writes for the enemy.
Still connected by magical typewriters, the two fall in love all over again. While this does tug at my romantic heartstrings, it’s a bit of a repeat of the love story of Divine Rivals.
The writing is lovely, the story is fast paced, and Ross does a great job wrapping up the story.
I give it 4 stars because I didn’t love it as much as the first book, which set the bar for this story & fantasy world quite high.
