This book is about a girl who writes letters to her brother and the boy who reads them. One day, he decides to write back.

I truly enjoyed the way this book was written and the way you see their relationship develop through the letters they write to each other. I did feel that the fantasy element of this book was distracting me from that. More often than not, I wished this book was set in a "real war" (like WWI or WWII), just so that the book would focus more on them and their relationship and not so much on this mysterious war between two gods. However, having read the end of the book, I see how this fantasy element could add an extra layer needed to keep this story interesting enough for a second book. I'm very curious to see what happens in the next book.
