A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Sylvie Cathrall
5.0

Thank you to the team at NetGalley and Orbit Books for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review!

While it did take a bit to get used to the unique narration (the story is told through letters exchanged by the different characters), once I settled into it, I actually found it to feel very intimate and like I got this very personal view of the characters. The story itself was whimsical, mysterious, romantic, and so much more! I loved watching E. and Henerey’s personalities shine as their relationship blossomed, as well as the friendship between their siblings supporting each other in their mutual grief. The mystery was woven into the story so effortlessly and I was constantly found myself wanting to know what happens next!

I did not realize this is the first in a series, so the cliffhanger ending caught me a bit off guard, but in the best way! I absolutely cannot WAIT to read what happens next in this magical world.
