pickA soft pick. Ideal for fans of reinventions of the mythos of Persephone and Eurydice.
Lyrically written love story that follows goddess Matilda and mortal man Vincent. A prequel to Ross‘s ‘Divine Rivals‘ duology. While the first book of that remains the strongest to me, this was lovely.
I hope Ross writes a book for Bade & Adria‘s story - theirs was largely off page here but was more sadly romantic to me.
pickI liked it a lot, but I gotta say: this is not a YA book, it‘s just New Adult in a funny outfit. I could have done with Margeaux‘s motivations/character being laid out more clearly, but it was a fun read nonetheless!
I‘m slowly realizing that #romantasy only works for me it‘s filled with slow burn yearning and both parties have their own plots to lead independently.
This one is humming along quite nicely in that regard.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Wild Reverence” is a prequel to the “Divine Rivals” and “Ruthless Vows”, and it‘s just as lush and vivid as the duology. This book is full of heart, longing, love, and self-discovery and it was a joy to read. “Divine Rivals” remains my favorite of this series, but “Wild Reverence” is a strong entry into this world.
Current goal is to fly through my remaining #BOTM backlog this month so I have a chance at completing their annual book challenge.
Even the table of contents is pretty for this one! I have high hopes for this Divine Rivals prequel. 🥰
bailedThis is a DNF - for now.
There are elements to this I could like.
But it just didn‘t grab me and I didn‘t want it to turn into a slog.
So I‘m putting it away for now.
Maybe I‘ll come back to it next year.
pickOoooh I love this series. I think this one earned its 16hrs more than Paladin‘s Strength, and Marguerite and Shane are just too cute. I know there‘s 7 books planned in this series so PLEASE Kingfisher we need an update on Judith! And some happiness for Wren!
