I can see why people like Rebecca Ross’s books. They’re accessible while also having relatively complex storylines and really wonderful world building. I think the magic system in this was my favorite part. It was really unique and interesting.
Unfortunately, I don’t think she’s for me. I read the Divine Rivals duology and didn’t love it, but I am a strict believer authors generally deserve a second chance. While I love the premise of her books and the worlds in which they take place, I really struggle with her dialogue. I can’t exactly explain why, but there is something about it that feels strange. I also can’t say I love her romances. I just never believe the characters love each other. I never feel the chemistry (and I don’t even necessarily think they should be together).
I really do think a lot of people would (and clearly do) love this book. Ross just isn’t the author for me, unfortunately.
