Can someone please enlighten me WHY Dacre and Enva are fighting? I know there's the myth – Enva putting Dacre to sleep with her music because Dacre wanted to keep her, but it doesn't make sense for this to be anything more than a story. Are we not supposed to know the reason yet?

Marley Cusson Okay so just based off what i remember off the top of my head, Dacre is from the Underlings realm and Enva was from the skywards. The "realms" ( im no…moreOkay so just based off what i remember off the top of my head, Dacre is from the Underlings realm and Enva was from the skywards. The "realms" ( im not sure if realms are the right word but like there are two different categories, does that make sense?) have always had a rivalry and Dacre had thought that if he could conquer one of the goddesses he could prove his "realm" superior. So he killed a bunch of mortals and things to get her attention. But she was like "no im not marrying you" and so he was like "ill kill more mortals" and she says "okay fine but i get to play music whenever and where ever" and he says "deal". So then she discovers she can put him to sleep with her music and she then goes back up to where the skywards live (forgot to mention earlier that he wouldn't let her go to her home... EVER). when he wakes up he gets really really mad and so she says damn he found out my secret and put him to sleep for 100 years. SO in the epilogue Dacre had just woke up and is furious he had been tricked, and now he wants revenge for being made to look like a fool. (less)

Obviously it pervades, there are magical objects and gods and goddesses mentioned, but the focus is squarely on our characters and how they survive in this world and grow and come together and build each other up.(less)

Can anyone please tell me why is this book categorized as a "historical" fiction? I mean OK, the war scenes are inspired by the trench wars in WWI, but does that alone qualify a book to be considered "historical"? When there are absolutely zero references to real historical events and the name of the towns, the dates, and everything else is quite imaginary?

Divine Rivals should not be categorized as a Historical fiction, because it has no historical basis. Instead, the American Library Association has Divine Rivals shelved as a Historical Fantasy, which makes more sense. (less)
