Everything in this book is written so vividly. The universe is imersive, extremely. Every scent, texture and visual is so real that it is impossible not to feel that you in every scene. Every emotion the author wanted you to feel, you would. To the point where I had to put the book dawn a few times closer to the end because I'm simply to equiped to process all these feelings. The romance is beautiful, moving and made me sight and (scream with the book) several times. The story does not hesitate to show war like it is but it doesn't make everything depressing and hopeless either. I loved this book with all my heart and I hope so, so much that the sequel is just as good. I can't wait for it.

I really enjoyed this more than I thought. It took me about 50 pages to get invested and then I didn’t want to put it down. I do feel very confused on the fantasy element, but I think I might just need to go back and reread some parts or hope that book 2 explains more. I didn’t feel like there was enough background to help me understand the gods at war, but it also could be my inability to wrap my head around fantasy worlds. 

I really loved the characters in this story, the writing style, the use of letters, and the pacing was well done. This didn’t feel like a YA book(mainly because of how well written it was compared to most YA), and with the one open door scene I found myself double checking that it wasn’t categorized as adult. Overall, I enjoyed this way more than I expected and am eager to read book 2!

Around the 40 or 50% mark, I couldn't stop reading this book until it was over. I loved so many things about it, except, perhaps, how it ended. I'll be frustrated until I read the next book.
