Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

After centuries of sleep, the gods are warring again. But eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow just wants to hold her family together. Her mother is suffering from addiction and her brother has been on the front lines for six months and she hasn't heard anything from him.

To combat her worries, Iris writes letters to her brother and slips them beneath her wardrobe door, where they vanish when letters start being replied to things start to get interesting.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for my copy of Divine Rivals in exchange for my free and honest review.

This is a story of letters and falling in love. There is a war and its effects are felt but the story focuses on the letters written on magical typewriters and the people who wrote them. Following Iris

The connected typewriter storyline was one of my favorite parts of this book. A long lasting friendship that managed to transcend generations and get letters passed no matter where the recipient happens to be.

I wanted more of the gods and they mythology of this world. We got a few myths but not nearly as much as I wanted. Given how this book leaves off I'm certain (at least hoping very hard) that book two we will page time for the gods.
