Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross
5.0
I. Am. Unwell.
There was so much of this book that I enjoyed. I know there were a couple "wait, what's that now?" moments during my read (nothing major at all) but right now I can't remember any of them, and clearly they didn't detract from the rating or enjoyment at all. The magic system was unique and fresh. Iris and Roman were great characters and I enjoyed their bickering and competitive nature. It fueled them and drove them closer, even if she didn't realize it for a long while.
The pacing was great. There was always something happening, driving the plot forward, pushing the story.
I want so much more of this. The. Ending. I was not ready for that. Not at all. I am hurt.
Also, since I listened to this, I have to say the dual narrators was immaculately done. The changes between her and him was done seamlessly and added a layer to this story that I didn't know I needed. I think more audiobooks should have multiple narrators. Hoping this is a trend that picks up (I know some publishing companies tend to do full-cast audiobooks, looking at you Penguin, and it's always exquisite.
