Interesting blend of historical war and fantasy with romance. I liked the letters. I felt the characters were sometimes a little flat, especially towards the 3/4 mark.

After her older brother goes off to fight in the war between the gods and her mother loses her job, Iris Winnow has to drop out of school and work at the local newspaper. There, she becomes rivals with her coworker, Roman Kitt, as they compete for the promotion to columnist.

At home, Iris has been writing to her brother. She has no address to send her letters, but she discovered that her letters disappear when put into her closet. She hopes that, somehow, her brother is receiving the letters, until one day she receives a letter back, and she discovers that she is somehow connected to a stranger.

This book starts out strong, and is able to maintain interest through to the end. While I was able to guess some things before they happened, I was always kept curious about how they would happen. There is also a twist at the end that I did not see coming, and added and entire new layer that has me impatiently waiting for the next book to come out in December.
