We'll go anywhere you want to. We'll go together when the war is over.

It's over! 🥹 I think as I read more duologies, they will become the bane of my existence. Two books and we're done? That's it??? I found this book to be extremely slow compared to the first. I could hardly get through 30 pages before needing to take a break. For me, the focal point of Divine Rivals was Iris and Roman's love story, while its sequel concentrated on the war of the gods. If you are a war story fan, this book is for you. There were some elements of romance sprinkled throughout, but I wanted more; I especially yearned to see Attie and Tobias's relationship develop. Overall, I wouldn't skip this sequel, and I wouldn't be mad if Ross decides to revisit Oath in the future.
