I just finished Ruthless Vows and overall it was a good read, but not as strong as the first book for me. I really enjoyed being back in this world and with these characters, because I was already attached to them after Divine Rivals. The atmosphere and the writing were still beautiful and emotional, and I loved seeing how the story continued.
That said, this one felt a bit slower and less gripping. Some parts didn’t pull me in as much as I expected, and I found myself less invested in the story at times. I was hoping for a bit more tension and emotion, especially for a finale.
I still liked the book and I’m glad I finished the duology, but it ended up being more of an average read for me. A nice conclusion, just not as memorable as I hoped.
