Divine Rivals

1.5 stars

This sounded so promising but it is just historical fiction with very unbelievable “enemies”-to-lovers with to many conveniences.

The magical elements were not developed enough for me. And I hoped we go from historical war romance to a more magical approach.

There are regular mentions of technologies (lifts, baseball, ...) but the main media is still typing on typewriters for the newspapers. It's inconsistent and not explained enough for a solid world building. This also didn't grab my attention through this boring book.

The language of the two maincharacters changes between lyrical deep lovey-dovey to young teen language which took me out of the story a few times.

Even the ending couldn't have me engaged enough to read the second book.

If I wouldn't have read the audiobook most of the time, this would be a contender for chucking at the wall.
