This was stunning. Literally STUNNING. The list of things I loved is long: 

• EPISTOLARY STYLE: This entire thing is written in correspondence between characters, and it is EVERYTHING. It's such a unique way to get to know the characters, and it hooked me like, RIGHT away.
• INCOMPLETE WORLDBUILDING: Okay. what I mean by this is that there aren't any info-dumps. We simply learn the world as things are mentioned. You build the world by picking up on bits and pieces throughout, and it allowed me to immerse myself in the plot and have things built around me. I really loved that. I was able to get invested in the story and characters so much faster.
• SUBTLE ROMANCE: Ummmmm This was SO CUTE. The romance was so subtle, and more of like, a classic romance. The romantic little notes between Henerey and E. are somehow MORE romantic and thrilling than a spicy smut novel. This is a book Anne Shirley Cuthbert would have loved, and I feel like there's no higher praise??

I cannot wait until book two. CANNOT WAIT.
