Rebecca has done it again! I lovvveed this book! My one note is I hope we get some more information on the enemy gods that are fighting, by the end you can see that this will be a big plot point while this book it was very much a background thing. Beyond that I loved the setup of this. We have Iris and Roman who are rival journalists both striving to become columnist. Turns out they also have magical type writers and have been writing to each other something that Roman knows but Iris does not. Let me tell you I was eating up every one of those letters okay? Eventually Iris leaves and is drawn to the war front to look for her brother and this is where things start to really pick up. Also the fact that Roman comes after her?! Crying thanks. Overall I thought this story was amazing, Rebecca Ross really knows how to paint the most beautiful and alluring scenes and I love how she writes her characters and their love. I can’t wait to read the next one!
