  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

I do think there is a target audience for this book and once it finds its target audience it is going to be deeply loved. However, I don't think I was the target audience, even though I desperately wanted to be. 

This book is told completely in letter format. The parts that aren't letters (very few) are transcripts of the conversation, presumably taken by a present character. I think that is what made it difficult for me to love. However, the concept is wonderful and it was a beautiful story nonetheless. I would say this book is the definition of a cozy mystery/fantasy and the pacing is very slow. 

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my review.
