Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross

4.0

4/5 stars

"I want to hear from you at all hours. I want to read your words. I am greedy for them. I am hungry for them."

This is one of my highly-anticipated books of the year. I had a lot of expectations for this one, and I'm happy to say it did not disappoint.

After the cliff-hanger at the end of the Divine Rivals, I knew this book was going to tear me up and it did, in the best way!

I cried many times while reading it, especially at the end!!!, but this book filled me with warm fuzzy feelings. I love Iris, she's so fierce and strong in a way that is very unusual for a YA fantasy heroine, and Roman is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is filled with macho men (not that I have anything against those types of characters). The romance between them is so cute, one of my favorite couples ever!

Although I loveeeeeed this book, there were a couple of things I wish it focused more on (
Spoiler the third Alouette and Iris' brother, and the relationship between the two of them
). I think if it did, it would have been a solid 5/5 star book for me.

I found the epilogue interesting, I liked it a lot!
