Novelas y relatos de Divine Rivals Series In Order

Man, I just went through this trying to update my Goodreads shelf. Last I checked, the 'Divine Rivals' series by Rebecca Ross currently has two books out. The first is obviously the one that started it all, 'Divine Rivals' itself. The second book is called 'Ruthless Vows'.

From everything the author has said, that's it for Iris and Roman's main story. It's a duology, so those two books make up the complete series. No third mainline novel has been announced. The order is straightforward: start with 'Divine Rivals', then go straight into 'Ruthless Vows'. I think some people keep hoping for more because the world is so rich, but the character arcs seem pretty definitively wrapped up in that second installment.

I've seen a few lists floating around and the consensus is pretty straightforward. You've got the two main books, obviously: 'Divine Rivals' first, then 'Ruthless Vows'. That's the core duology right there. Some people are asking about the little prequel story 'Letters of Enchantment' that was in an anthology, but honestly, it's more of a sweet extra. It gives a glimpse of Iris and Roman's letter-writing before the war, but you won't be lost if you skip it. The main emotional throughline is absolutely from the first novel into the second.

What I did was just blast through 'Divine Rivals' and go straight into the sequel. The ending of the first one leaves you in such a state that you need the next one immediately. Trying to slot in a short story might actually kill the momentum. Focus on the two novels back-to-back; everything else is supplemental for later if you're craving more of that world.

Been following Rebecca Ross's work since 'The Queen's Rising' and the world of 'Divine Rivals' felt ripe for expansion. The direct continuation is 'Ruthless Vows', which picks up right after the first book's cliffhanger, following Iris and Roman's story. That's the core duology.

I haven't seen any official spin-offs yet in the sense of a new series focusing on different characters. Rebecca Ross has mentioned in interviews she might explore other corners of that universe someday, given how rich the lore of the gods and the war is, but nothing's been announced. For now, the reading order is strictly the two books: 'Divine Rivals' then 'Ruthless Vows'. I'd kill for a novella about Attie or Marisol, though.
