Christ this book was magnificent. The narration was brilliant, lyricsl but smooth and yarring. The use if letters for the secind half of each chapter held the reader's and the characters understanding of each other. Not to mention their evolution in how they feel for each other. You are with them as they read these letters through ash and blood and tree. You see them fall in love with each other's fatality and person. 
It was brilliant and had me nearly in tears.
