I loved this book. I found it a bit slow at times but it was mostly paced well. It was slightly frustrating that it took so long for the person writing the letters to Iris to admit who he was, but other than that, I loved it. I can't wait to read book two and the ending left me heartbroken.

Cute story and my only complaint is I wish the gods and world were fleshed out more. Hopefully the next book goes into more detail about those things. I liked all the characters and the pacing was good.
