This is an interesting book. I found the language a tad bit flowery for me, but it wasn't too bad. And the content and overall writing style I enjoyed.
Definitely check out the trigger warnings, just in case. This was emotionally rough at times. The romance was cute, and there was technically a sex scene, but it was not explicit. Most people would consider this a sweet romance, but the overall themes and such mean it's no cutesy romance book.
Interesting world building with mythology as history. Love a typewriter book.

I winded up falling in love with this book, but it was a slow burn. The banter and the story line really kicked in and improved to just cost into a quick burning love that was evident from the first quirk. I am immediately starting the second because I need to know what is happening. That cliff was deep at the end and now I have more questions than answers! I'm very sad I put off reading this one for so sooo long!

This book, keeps you invested to the end. It keeps you hooked and is such an easy read. Iris and Roman are fated to be together it feels like especially through the history of their typewriters but the way it leaves you hanging leaves you to ponder how will it all end?

Romantic, fantastical, emotional, dark. Felt a lot like <i>Lovely War</i>. I did appreciate the subtleties though. And how Roman fell so hard. I haven’t read many historical fantasies set in this time period so it was unique if anything.
I’m curious for the next one.

A good book. Really. I throughly enjoyed the storyline, characters, and romance. In all honesty, I have zero critiques, but that might be the problem. I like a book that's not perfect, and although I wouldn't go so far to say this book was perfect, it maybe fell a little short from my expectations. Everyone, and I mean everyone, talked this book up everywhere, swearing it was the best story ever. While it was great, I can't say it was the most amazing literature to grace my eyes. But yeah, I adored the writing and concept, so there isn't much wrong. I suppose the only thing "wrong" is a feeling I have. Kind of hard to explain that.
