What a deliciously weird book! It took me a little while to get into and when the You've Got Mail storyline kicked in, I wasn't super convinced. HOWEVER, somewhere along the way I got utterly swept up in this story and by the end during those scenes I was super emotional and invested.
I loved the characters of Hart and Mercy. Mercy was brilliant and feisty and I loved her style. Hart was just swoon worthy for me, all six foot nine of him! I loved that he was a demi-god *afraid* of immortality (rather than the usual tropes of chasing immortality). I loved the Mercy had an unconventional career where gave heart and meaning and peace to those in pain.
What stopped this being a 5 star for me was the world building, which was a little shaky and there were a few anachronistic moments that took me out.
If you like You've got mail but want it with demigods, adorable family dynamics and fiesty talking rabbit posties, this is for you!
