I loved this book!!! What an amazing, tense, romantic, devastating, wonderful end to the Letters of Enchantment duology.
Iris and Roman just have my heart. I literally adore them and they are absolutely some of my favorite book characters ever written. They were always true to themselves BUT still grew with the story as dynamic MCs. It was literally amazing to read an entire “series” and never once think “would that character really do that or think that way?”. The other characters were also enjoyable to follow, both from the first book and new characters to this book. A really great “cast” if you will.
The story is just heart-wrenching in all the right ways. What a phenomenal plot and ending. I never knew which would be the “true” ending until it was happening. There was a good mix of slow parts and fast paced parts to really keep me steadily interested and coming back to read more of the story. The writing is amazing, and I really love reading Iris and Roman’s letters. To think of someone writing to me that way makes me sob.
And the romance. I loved it. This book has made me realize that I am absolutely a fade to black girl when done correctly. And Miss Ross did just that!!! The scenes were so beautifully written, so emotional with the language. I love love loved it.
10000/5 stars. Not one single complaint, and that is a hard feat!!!
