I really enjoyed this romantic fantasy because it had all that I look for in a good book...well-developed and interesting characters, great world-building, and an intriguing plot to tie it all together. First, and foremost in this instance I think, I loved the unique and detailed world of basically a fictional USPS (the Otherwhere Post) which is based on the art of scriptomancy (the art of magically enchanting mail). This was a location setting🔻

robinb that I had never considered for a fantasy, and I found it fascinating fiction.

Our MFC and MMC were both wonderfully humorous, determined and kept me motivated to learn more about each of them as well as their dynamics as a team. Loved Maeve and Tristan!

Lots to love here (the complete package) which is why I look forward to reading more from this author. 5/5⭐️

Mehso-so

This was an original and intriguing Middle School Style Dark Academia / Romantasy read. I was a bit surprised by how slow the beginning of the book was, but with all the world building and the establishment of a very unique magical system with Scriptomancy that is needed, this pace is understandable. In this vivid and detailed book, Taylor needs to establish quite a lot of context and backstory for the reader to understand Maeve's world
