This started off like a very light, cute story with a harsh, scary something looming over it. The "something" is dealt with in the last 5ish chapters of the book. Felt slow and then all of a sudden very fast. Not rushing to go read the second one but will get there eventually.

The writing of letters with the enchanted typewriter and the connection was an awesome element to the story. I wanted more of the story behind them though! I also felt like the romance was rushed once the characters were physically together. This book has great and original ideas but I don’t feel they were executed as well as they deserved to be.
