Letters of Enchantment, a YA duology by Rebecca Ross
Divine Rivals
When two young rival journalists find love through a magical connection, they must face the depths of hell, in a war among gods, to seal their fate forever.
Iris Winnow just wants to hold her family together. To combat her worries, Iris writes letters to her brother and slips them beneath her wardrobe door, where they vanish―into the hands of Roman Kitt, her cold and handsome rival at the paper. When he anonymously writes Iris back, the two of them forge a connection that will follow Iris all the way to the front lines of battle: for her brother, the fate of mankind, and love.
Ruthless Vows
The epic conclusion to the intensely romantic and beautifully written story that started in Divine Rivals.
Two weeks have passed since Iris Winnow returned home bruised and heartbroken from the front, but the war is far from over. Roman is missing, and the city of Oath continues to dwell in a state of disbelief and ignorance.
Letters of Enchantment (Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows) is a duology by Rebecca Ross. Júlia and Naomi both read and loved it! So of course we would have to let you read what they have to say about it.
This is a a beautifully written YA duology by Rebecca Ross. It’s one of my favourite reads from 2024. To my surprise this blend of young adult fantasy, romance and drama kept me reading at any available moment.
The story follows two competing journalists, Iris and Rowan, during a war of gods. As the story evolves, the characters develop a genuine and vulnerable connection which keeps you fully engaged.
I especially enjoyed the lyrical style of the books which made me feel all kinds of emotions.
When reading a book about two authors falling in love, I expected the writing to be absolutely excellent. Lucky for me, it was! The prose was beautiful and lyrical and sucked me right into the story.
The story itself was also amazing: the rivals-to-lovers relationship between Iris and Roman was really well developed (and had me grinning most of the time). I loved that they fell in love through writing letters, but that their relationship also evolved gradually outside of that.
The magic system is pretty unique and explored thoroughly, which makes it all the more frustrating that war is waged because one man/god couldn’t handle rejection.
There are some excellent plot twists in here, and it’s a very emotional and heartfelt duology.
