Rebecca Ross's writing is SO GORGEOUS. She really has such a way with words. I think this is my first epistolary novel and I really enjoyed that aspect of it. I do wish there was a bit more fantasy elements to the story. It was very in the background and part of the story, but I wish we were shown a bit more of that (hoping this will happen in the sequel). That being said, Ross sure does know how to write a swoonworthy romance!
