Wild Reverence

Wer "Divine Rivals" und "Ruthless Vows" mochte, wird von "Wild Reverence" nicht enttäuscht werden. Die Geschichte rund um Matilda spielt vor der Letters of Enchantment-Reihe und gibt uns einen tieferen Einblick in die Welt der Götter und Göttinnen. Eine Geschichte voller Sehnsucht, Liebe, Hoffnung und Magie

Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross takes place in the same world as Divine Rivals and I absolutely loved seeing more of this world 600 years before Iris and Roman. Matilda and Vincent‘s story is just epic and I absolutely loved it.   Matilda is born with a little bit of magic and her role is that of a messenger and she carries letters through the realms. This was so cool to see, and I loved seeing the different places and people in the realms. She is kind-hearted and humble but has dreams and secrets of her own and I just loved seeing how she pursues her own happiness and little more with each page.   Vincent is a mortal boy who dreams of Matilda and is begging for her help. I wanted to see even more of him because he only showed up in the middle of the book. The longing and yearning in this book were next level and I wish they’d spend more time actually being together. You only get to see glimpses of their romance and it could be so much more.   Matilda and Vincent‘s story is forbidden and destined by fate at the same time. I was rooting for them from the beginning and it’s the slowest of slow burn stories and some parts were definitely dragging on. This was mainly because there were a lot of time jumps and conflict after conflict and all of that wasn’t properly tied together. I really loved Matilda and Vincent and the idea of this book but sometimes it felt like the story lost its red thread.   This book was a lovely read and I loved returning to this world. 4 stars.   (Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an arc.)
