4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this. Rebecca Ross writes in a way that is so powerful and compelling. There is a weight to it that I can’t quite explain.
I really liked this story and the premise of it all was so unique. Never read a magic system like this and it really worked for me.
I loved the characters and despite there being insta love between Matilda and Vincent, there was still tension and chemistry so it worked.
I have found I vastly prefer her adult novels over her YA - I tried Divine Rivals but couldn’t get into it. However, this “prequel” has inspired me to try them again for sure.
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the arc!

After loving the Letters of Enchantment duology from Rebecca Ross, I was so excited to grab an advance copy as "Read Now" on NetGalley! Huge thanks to them for the opportunity. Diving back into this world was very exciting and comforting.

I did find myself hooked by the beginning of the novel, and excited to see where it took us next. It was really interesting to enter the same built universe with a few of the same characters, while learning more about the gods in a different timeline than when we originally met Iris and Roman. As always, Ross's prose was gorgeous, flowy, and lulling.

Unfortunately, I did not find the rest of this novel compelling, and in fact found it much too long and repetitive to keep me hooked on the story. I did not find the history between Matilda and Vincent to be enough for the base of their relationship, and thus the rest of their love story fell flat. Additionally, I did not feel the weight of any of the plot points we experienced - it seemed that the same things kept happening, with no huge surprises or consequences for the reader.

While an interesting addition to the world, I would not recommend this as necessary for a reader wanting to dive into the original duology. Huge thanks to Rebecca Ross, Saturday Books, and NetGalley for a copy of this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wow!!!! Rebecca Ross has done it again. Her beautiful words have created another enchanting story. It was everything I needed after reading Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows. So well written and wrapped this world up perfectly.

Thanks you NetGalley and st. Martins press for this ARC read
5⭐️.
This is set in the same world as Divine Rivals however it can be read as a stand alone.
Unlike divine rivals and ruthless vowels this is an adult novel however it is not very spicy so if it’s spice you came for you will not get that .25 🌶️
This book is just as beautifully written as divine rivals and ruthless vowels Rebecca Ross did a fantastic job with this prequel. The magic set in this world with the mortal and gods was really fun. The epilogue was chefs kiss.

How do I rate this more than 5 stars? I couldn’t put it down. The writing was beautiful, I was engrossed just as much as I was in Divine Rivals, and still this felt like its own incredible entity. Dare I say… this might be my favourite of my RR Reads? If you wanted to know more about the gods’ world, this is for you. If you wanted even more tragedy, this is it.

I can’t remember the last time I stayed up until 2 o’clock in the morning reading because there was just no stopping. Or the last time I sobbed at an epilogue just because it meant the story was about to end (no really, I saw the word and burst into tears. I just wanted it to keep going.)

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for the early copy — I knew I was excited for this one, but this blew me even further away than I could have expected.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and Rebecca Ross for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Set in the world of Divine Rivals, Wild Reverence follows the love story of Matilda a goddess, and Vincent, a moral man. The story begins in Matilda's youth and follows her into adulthood as she comes into her powers and builds the relationships around here, including the relationship with Vincent. The relationship that Ross crafted between these two characters was sweet, devoted, and made a refreshing change from the traditional broody and dark male love interest that is so often written in popular romance books. I thought that Matilda was compelling, and I enjoyed following her story.

<spoiler>Arguably one of my favourite parts of this book, more so than anything to do with Vincent and Matilda, was the relationship between Matilda and Bade. He played such a central role in this story and how it culminated at the end felt perfect. While I didn't find myself in tears at any of the romance, there were many moments between Matilda and the God of War that really touched me, especially how they claimed each other as father and daughter in the end. </spoiler>

The writing was beautiful and the story was well told, however the pacing was a little off for me. It took a while to really draw me in but once I got to the last 10% off the book I couldn't put it down.

I know that Divine Rivals was a huge hit when it was published, but I was never as drawn to it as others were. I read the first book but didn't finish the duology. That being said, I think that this book is well worth reading regardless of if you liked or didn't like the main series. I also think that you can easily read it without having read anything else in the same universe as the story stands well on its own.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for the ARC of Wild Reverence, out September 2.

Rebecca Ross’s lyrical, transportive writing shines in this sweeping prequel to the Divine Rivals series. Set in the same world but easily read as a standalone, this 544-page (LONG!) epic shifts focus from the mortal characters we loved in the original books to the gods themselves, offering a richer look at the myths, politics, and dangers that shape their realm.

We follow Matilda, the youngest goddess of her clan, gifted with humble messenger magic and burdened with a secret that could mean her survival. In a land where gods kill for power and alliances fracture in an instant, she finds herself unexpectedly connected to Vincent of Beckett, a mortal lord who once dreamed of her as a boy. Their fates entwine in a story of destiny, sacrifice, and the courage it takes to open oneself to love.

Gorgeously written, atmospheric, and brimming with high-stakes tension, this is a must-read for fans of lush fantasy steeped in mythology. Parts did drag a little (could this have been 200 pages shorter? maybe), but overall, a beautiful story.

<strong> The yearning. The longing. Ugh… the everything. I loved this. This beat out Divine Rivals, for me. </strong>


Thanks so much to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Rebecca Ross for providing this e-ARC book for my honest review. All opinions on this book are my own.

Firstly, I want to say that <strong> you do NOT need to read Divine Rivals prior to this book.</strong> Yes, it is in the same world but honestly, while I was reading, I forgot that they were even connected. There is one tiny part that you see a connection that makes the book a bit more meaningful, but it is 100% not a prerequisite for this book. So, don’t let that stop you from reading it.

Also, if you did not enjoy DR, I would still consider giving this a chance. I liked Divine Rivals, especially the beginning, but I did not love it. Well, I loved the beginning, but didn’t particularly like how it ended. I also wanted more magic. I actually haven’t even read the second book, yet. In my personal opinion, this book is even better. This is the type of book I’m talking about when I say I want good romance. There’s so much yearning and emotions. My heart is broken and full somehow at the same time. This is proof that you can write good romance without the dreaded miscommunication trope, or love triangles, or any other overused trope that just pushes the plot along.

I also loved how there was a lot more fantasy in this book. I enjoyed the magic system with the gods and the overall world building. Just all around, I really enjoyed it. The writing is absolutely beautiful. The ending, … breathtaking. *tear silently rolls down face*

Romantasies and I are having a big beef right now, but this book is definitely excluded from that. It’s given me more faith in actually good romantasies coming out.

Do I recommend this book?
- If you loved Divine Rivals, absolutely you will devour this.
- If you kinda liked but didn’t particularly love Divine Rivals, still, 100% give this one a chance.
- If you haven’t read any of Ross’s books but love any type of romance or fantasy, YES.

0.25 🌶️ (pretty much YA spice but not needed because the romance is so good)

HUGE thank you to SMP/Saturday Books for the e-ARC! This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and it did not disappoint. The events of Wild Reverence take place before Divine Rivals, and you don’t necessarily need to read the other Letters of Enchantment books before you read this one. Rebecca’s writing is magical and beautiful, and I’m always hanging on every last word. This is a story about fated love, mending old heartaches, and realizing that love is a strength, not a weakness. We get both Matilda and Vincent’s POVs as they navigate life from childhood to adulthood. Matilda learns what it means to be a young goddess/herald surrounded by selfish gods who wouldn’t hesitate to exploit her weaknesses or kill her for more power. Vincent is a mortal boy who forms a deep connection with Matilda in his dreams. Life changing betrayals send both characters on individual journeys that explore tragedy, loss, and self purpose. As in Divine Rivals, this story includes enchanted letters that have the power to alter the mind and heart. The letters and fated love between Vincent and Matilda had me feeling very emotional (tears were shed) and desperately wanting a happily ever after. Vincent’s yearning for Matilda and sorrowing over the impossibility of a relationship between a goddess and mortal made my heart ache for them. I also loved the side characters. Bade’s character arc was beautifully done, and I adored his relationship with Matilda. Seeing the beginning of Enva and Dacre’s relationship before the events of Divine Rivals was also very interesting. If you have read Divine Rivals, you will LOVE the epilogue! Overall, I was very happy to be back in the magical world of Letters of Enchantment. I would recommend this series to anyone, especially if you enjoy a bit of heartache and true love that is worth waiting for. I can’t wait to get a shelf trophy of this book!

Wild Reverence is a story of mortals and myths, of joy and sorrow, and of following one's heart no matter where it leads.

I've never read anything by Rebecca Ross before - when I found it was a prequel to one of her other books, I was at first concerned that I was going to be lost without major details or lore. However, that is assuredly not the case!

Filled to the brim with the lore of gods and goddesses from Skyward to the Underworld, this story delivers unique ideas involving a pantheon of immortals. I enjoyed the idea of how one immortal can kill another (albeit difficult to do) in order to take the deceased immortal's powers for their own. I also enjoyed how an immortal's ascribed constellation and its number of stars denotes their power and standing within the court they belong to.

Matilda, our immortal goddess protagonist, is a well-deserved one - being introduced to the lore from her perspective ensured the reader is kept up to pace with the important tidbits and details. I never once struggled to understand what was happening as each character is well-defined and fleshed out, even the ones who are easy to hate.

At the heart of the story is the romance between Matilda and her mortal love Vincent - the struggles, the tender moments, the yearning -- it's all there. The pacing of the plot was solid, steady, and chock full of minor sub-plots that wind themselves around the main plotline like a tapestry, enriching the depth and feeling of it all.

Wild Reverence pulls on the heart, reminding us what it means to be mortal in all the good ways and how not even Fate itself is strong enough to break bonds wound together.

Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross is a book about gods,goddesses and mortals and how their worlds and lives intertwine. Skyward, Underlings and the mortal realm are the worlds within this story and while mortals cannot travel thru the other realms unless they have given their lives up to the gods, gods can move between two or sometimes all three worlds with magic.
We meet Matilda, who is a herald, bringing messages through the three realms, Vincent the mortal lord trying to fight to keep his kingdom from his uncle trying to overthrow him, plus many other gods and goddesses each with their own magical abilities (Bade, god of war, was a personal favorite). These gods are fierce, sometimes killing each other to gain more power. There is much backstabbing and trickery, yet also loyalty and friendship. It’s all very enchanting to read.
As Matilda befriends Vincent and helps to fight for his kingdom, a love story evolves between them. I personally felt the love story angle fell a little short, but it will likely be a plot line that many readers enjoy. By the end of this book, readers familiar with the Letters of Enchantment duology will see how Wild Reverence brings it all to light. We learn the how and why of the plot of Divine Rivals and that was a fun surprise for me since I went in thinking this was a stand alone story. That being said, you absolutely do not have to have read the other two books to follow this one, because it truly is its own story.
If you enjoy myths and magic, war, treachery and love, you will enjoy this book. Fans of Rebecca Ross will not be disappointed. Thank you to NetGalley and St Martins Press for my ARC.

3.5 ⭐️

I went into this book knowing nothing about it and had no idea it was set in the same world as Divine Rivals so that was a really cool surprise, especially since Divine Rivals was one of my favorite reads of 2024. Ross does a great job expanding on a world she’s already built, making it feel fresh while still staying connected to what came before.

That said, I didn’t end up loving this one as much as I’d hoped. Honestly, I kind of saw that coming. The pacing felt way too long, and I was expecting something more in line with Divine Rivals so maybe that’s on me.

This book is essentially a deep dive into the gods and their backstory, so if you’re into lore and mythology, you’ll probably enjoy it. At its core, it’s about a goddess who falls in love with a mortal.

The writing was beautiful at times, with some truly impactful lines. The beginning really pulled me in, but it lost me around the 50% mark. It didn’t fully land for me again until the last 20% and by then, I’d already spent so much time trying to get through it. I do think a lot of readers will enjoy this one, maybe even love it. I just wish I had known beforehand how slow the pacing would be, and that the romance doesn’t really kick off until halfway through (and even then, I wasn’t a huge fan of the fake marriage and instant love tropes). I will say I did enjoy the element of family between Matilda and Bade, and Vincent and his brother.

That said, the ending? Those last few chapters definitely made the whole thing feel more worthwhile though not quite enough to fully redeem it for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. 💌

The gods each have different powers. If they kill another god, they gain their powers.

Matilda doesn't have much power. She is a herald. A messenger. She carries messages for the gods.
She also has a secret. A mortal boy has been dreaming of her. But, they have never met.

This was so good! I love Rebecca Ross's writing. It's always so compelling. I flew through this book. I loved Matilda, Vincent, and Bade. There are quite a few characters to hate as well.

Wild Reverence feels like a love story that is passed in whispers, advocating the belief that romances don’t need to be loud or boisterous to be considered “epic.” Matilda and Vincent’s devotion to one another made my heart weep and my soul ache. They’ve given me a reason to gaze up toward the stars and dream. Rebecca’s storytelling remains ethereal as ever, writing about gods and mortals and how their time can be measured. It’s beautiful and breathtaking and leaves an imprint on the reader.

A favorite parallel of mine between Iris and Roman and Matilda and Vincent is the integrated part of oneself that protects the other from harm. Iris and Roman have “He came between me and Death, taking the wounds that were supposed to mine,” and Matilda and Vincent have “My hands traced her scars, feeling them as if they were on my own skin. Tears stung my eyes. I would have taken every single lash for her.” Selflessness on any scale is a characteristic I will always admire.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for an e-ARC of this book.

Wild Reverence follows Matilda, a young goddess blessed with messenger magic in a land where gods kill each other to steal power. Forced to mature quickly, Matilda is thrust into her role and works to protect herself while a mortal boy dreams of her even though they’ve never met. But their futures are as intertwined as they are bloody and dangerous.

I loved returning to the magical, enchanting world of Divine Rivals and loved that we got to experience more of the gods and their worlds. It was super fascinating and I could read so many books on different characters in these worlds. It’s definitely a slower read but totally gripping and the prose is just stunning. Rebecca Ross has such a way with worlds and crafting enthralling narratives and love stories.

I really enjoyed Matilda and her journey. Her power was really cool and the progression of it was awesome. I was so invested in her arc and loved where her story took her. Her romance with Vincent was so sweet and lovely. The build up was so well done and the ending was so good. The side characters are really great too—especially Bade. Loved his character.

If you loved Divine Rivals, you definitely have to read this one!

Thank you to St. Martins Press and Netgalley for the arc

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC!

This is the only book I have ever rated 6 stars. It was a masterpiece.

Matilda, a child of the Underling and Skyward realms, is born a messenger for the divines, a herald. But when she is tasked with delivering a message to the mortal man whom she once saved in his dreams, she finds herself drawn into a conflict between him and his uncle. What begins as a ruse between Matilda and Vincent soon flares into more as they both revisit the feelings they had for one another at thirteen. As Matilda navigates the mortal conflict, she also finds herself in the midst of conflict with the divines, specifically Warin. And Vincent, an irreverent mortal man, would do anything for the goddess even if it means letting her go.


When I tell you this book was everything I dreamed of and more! Matilda and Vincent are so precious to me. The way I could feel all the small threads tying the two together and tying their story to Iris and Roman’s was a testament to Rebecca Ross’s craft. An expert story teller, with fascinating world building, and tension and yearning and romance that jumps off the page. I think I would do anything to read this story again for the first time.


My highlights:

“But if we were doomed, then let us fully embrace it.”

“I swallowed and slid the folded parchment beneath the door instead.
I watched as my letter vanished.”

“‘I would wait a thousand years for you,’ Vincent said. ‘If you asked me, I would wait for you until only my bones remained upon an altar. But if you must leave again, then let me follow you, Red.’”

AND THATS NOT EVEN ALL OF THEM.

There were so many beautiful moments in this book. We explore mortality, grief, familial love, fate, and death. The moments that shape us into who we are at our very core, the moments that irrevocably change us.

All in all, I savored every paragraph, every sentence, every word of this story. It beautifully tied into The Letters of Enchantment and you can see how Matilda and Vincent haunt the narrative in Iris and Roman’s story.

While I ultimately enjoyed this novel, I cannot help but start by pointing out that this book is bogged down by being a “Divine Rivals” prequel. Wild reverence works best when it is a story focused either the power within Matilda or the yearning between the fmc and the mmc. In many ways, Ross does a great job creating a strong atmosphere and making you believe in the story unfolding. However, I often found it to be a bit too plotty. There were times where it felt the story/characters needed to breathe but were denied opportunity to do so because the plot had to move. That does not make this work suffer much but is something that pulled me out of the story a few times. If you enjoyed her other works, I am sure you will also love this, as it feels like quintessential Ross. Overall, its a story with great characters, some beautiful prose, but sometimes suffers under the weight of being a prequel. Would recommend!

Ugh this was such a good book. It was so beautifully written and the story itself was perfect. I actually enjoyed this more than divine rivals 🫣 thank you so much for a chance to read this! Definitely one of the best books I’ve read this year!

Thank you to netgalley and st. martin’s press for the advanced readers copy!

I had tried to read Divine Rivals several times but had a hard time getting into the world building. I think this prequel does an excellent job of describing the interactions and magic system of the gods in a way that will make reading Divine Rivals more accessinle and enjoyable! The story was well paced and the romance was incredible - yearning to the max!!
