A Letter to the Luminous Deep is easily one of my favorites. I cannot wait to go back and re-read it to catch all the little clues and hints I missed the first time around. This is an epic story of grand proportion in more ways than one. I felt every range of emotion under the sun, or in this case, under the sea, while reading this book. It filled me with joy, with pain, with sorrow, with giddy glee and romantic hope. there where times when I was reading where I wanted to lay on my bed and kick my feet and giggle like a schoolkid with a new crush. there where times when I wanted to stand up and hurl my phone across the table, as if the source of my frustration was sitting in front of me! (You know what you did Arvist!) all the while I was deeply immersed in a fantastical world of coral, bioluminescence, and mysteries. my only regret reading this book, is that now I have to wait for the second one!
Follow the lives of E. and Henery through the eyes of their siblings, who are trying to piece together the mystery of their disappearance. Told through a series of letters, scholarly articles, and missives, we learn how the people in this fascinating world live their lives underwater in a world unimaginable. while one sister explores the deepest reaches of the ocean unexplored, the other remains home and attempts to uncover secrete things much closer to home. the letters between two sets of siblings uncovers a strange collection of odd coincidences that only pile higher as the story goes on until just like that the clues add up, and suddenly they have answers they aren't sure they were ready for.
If your a fan of books such as Emily Wilde's encyclopedia of Faeries or A Natural History of Dragons. if you like slow burn romance, cozy fantasy, deep mysteries and character driven plot, this is the story for you.
