I adored this book far more than I thought I would. I find the world very interesting and creative. I loved the dual POV and the tension and growing relationship between Hart and Mercy (also the names are great!). I'm a sucker for a good epistolary and this was giving magical-western-You've Got Mail without the problematic capitalist issue.
I also cried at the end which is not usual for me.
No notes, 5/5!

I don't have words to describe the feelings I felt while reading this so excuse me if my ramblings doesn't make sense.
I felt full of joy while reading the book, I felt part of the story, I was Hart, I was Mercy, I was Pen, I was Zeddie, I was Pop.
Even though I laughed so much to this, I have NEVER cried this much to a book, and I am a crier. I couldn't even read the words on the page because of the tears just kept flowing. I was unconsolable.
I have to admit that I don't understand why I feel so strongly about this book, but I do.
I appreciate how mature the characters in this book are, even the youngest ones.

My first big hurdle with this book was that there was no clear sense of place. The author off-handedly mentions "equiponies" (or whatever they were called) but provides very little description of what they looked like. At one point she mentions blue webbed feet. Okay... that's something. There's also no clear indication of a time period -- dungaree and glasses but a gramaphone and an autoduck? Are we past, present, future or some hybrid? I couldn't get into the story for the first half of the book because I didn't know where I was -- Old West with a dash of fantasy? The 1950s-esque with less technology and more magic? I just got whiplash from the lack of clarity as to what this world was. And it took FOREVER to be able to piece some of the story together. Its not that I want a story spoonfed to me but sheesh -- this is supposed to be fun and I had to white-knuckle through this book trying to figure out WTF was going on. Oh, and there was some romance but I don't really feel like it was central to the plot.
