I really enjoyed this book. It took a bit for me to really start liking it, but once I got into the pace, I began to love it. I love the romance through letter writing. It was different from what I’m used to and I found it a unique way for characters to fall in love. I do wish there was a bit more world building and I hope to see more of that in the next book.
The way Ross describes the feeling of grief, loss, and abandonment is so incredibly accurate. It left me so emotional at times that I had to stop and soak it in.
I will definitely be reading more books by this author. I can’t wait to see what happens next and I already pre-ordered the next book.

Roman is such a refreshing mmc, an extremely lovable person who's not afraid to be vulnerable, which is hard to find sometimes in "romantasy". I found his thoughts and behaviour towards Iris so wholesome to read about, and their romance was paced nicely and was not insta-lovey at all.
