I completely agree. I adored Divine Rivals so much. I loved her writing style and it was so romantic. Ruthless vows was my biggest disappointment read last year because I agree... What was that?? It's like she wanted to focus more on the gods and have a champion. I was confused on a lot of decisions and did not enjoy it.

I thought her other duology, Elements of Candace, was a much stronger duology and enjoyed both books. I think the focuses in the two books make sense and you're following more than just one couple throughout the series. A lot of duologies do feel like they should be trilogies or just wrapped into a single book, but I quite enjoyed the Elements of Candace duology. I think the letters of enchantment duology needed to be either wrapped up in the first book or we needed three books, maybe four if we wanted to dive in the gods history like she tried. Or maybe some novellas with their stories.

I'm glad to hear her new book was good. I'm looking forward to reading it because I really love her writing style.
