Yeah, we are in the minority 😂

I'll give Divine Rivals another chance, but yeah, I'm not super into it at this point. I think you're right that it's hard to go into that kind of book with no expectations when so many people love it, yet those expectations end up disappointing you 😭Thanks for sharing!

Forth wing was the worst one

Ah yes, Italy, the obviously fictional state lol. And I do too! Discussions about why people didn't like a book are always so interesting :)

It's so nice to find other people who disliked divine rivals!

Ahahah thank you ;)

Finally someone who also did not like Divine rivals :D. It was such a disappointment. It sounded so interesting: magical typewritters, war, Gods... and it turned out so boring, bad and mainly focused on plain mehh characters and their boring instalovestory. Where was that enemies to lovers part (i too saw this labeled as enemies to lovers)? Those few, boring pages at the begininng where they barely talked to each other but we had to read how one is poor and one is rich was the big enemies thing? It's laughable. Both characters felt 15 years old and their instalove was based on nothing. Few so called letters that could have been post it notes for all i care. Ross did not even properly write about those typewritters. There was something about who made them but no explanation about magic and why they worked the way they worked. And as you said - they were used few times and then just... were there. This book was so disappointing because that story had potential to be so great. But instead it was just another teen instalove, just in fantasy setting with...some God's war in the background.

My thoughts exactly!!! And why couldn't this be a ya novel when the author made the characers mentally 15???

The other two books in the fine print series are guilty pleasures for me but the one you spoke about did rub me the wrong way a little. I didn’t see enough redeeming qualities in the male love interest to understand why the heck she would go for him and give him chance after chance to be a nice person. Like I prefer a love interest that is somewhat of an okay empathetic person… or else why do I like them.

after reading these books I was powered by nothing but rage and spite ahahah

I am going to pick one of your 2✨️ books because I like the cover😆 And see what I think about it. Why? As a test. You see, I read a duology that EVERYBODY is recommending and was so dissapointed that I now have the phisical copy of it 😮‍💨 [no, it is not a 1star bu it is 2,5 for me as parts are good but don't save the book for me]

​​​@@alireadstoomuch9829Fast paced start, good fear of water and drowning, ending with OP like character are fun part. The romance is no whete to be found, the side characters are just tools, and everybody say it is Enemies to Lovers....where is that part, I have not found it? If you want to jump than go strait to ch 25. Duologie is called The Bridge Kingdom...😮‍💨 it is getting even less point the more time goes by.

While I also did not enjoy Divine Rituals, I do think Rebecca Ross writes well. I enjoyed her other series way more and it’s written a lot better.
