10th finished book of the year:
Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross
4/5 ⭐️ - Improved on the first book, found it overall more enjoyable
I feel like I gave the first book in the 'Letters of Enchantment' duology a harsh time when I reviewed it by only judging it in isolation. Not that there's any other way to review a single book, but this second half of the pair certainly made things a little more rounded.
I still didn't really feel all that connected to the relationship between the main characters, but I felt that the shifting of perspectives between them made for a more engaging experience this time round, not least because of the shifting nature of the conflict and changed positions of them both.
I found the story moved smoothly towards the eventual conclusion, tying up all the loose ends that I would have wanted answers for fairly pleasingly, with enough epiloguing and "... later" sections to satiate that part of me that always wants to know what comes next.
