Welcome to Litsy!

This book has a great premise—daughter receives word her father, accused of a terrible crime, is in fact innocent. To prove it, she‘ll have to infiltrate the Otherwhere Post & train in scriptomancy—a magic which allows people, long story short, to travel to different worlds. Fascinating magic system, intriguing world, & a story that could have made better use of both, particularly if the characters were a little more dynamic. Good maybe not great.

I loved Hotel Magnifique, and I loved this story too. Maeve is brave and cunning, and she finds a wonderful group of friends while trying to solve the mystery of her father‘s innocence. It was twisty and I didn‘t see the end coming. While technically young adult book, I think this would be enjoyed by readers of any age.

So cute and fascinating magical rules

The Otherwhere Post is a propulsive, magical tale of danger, romance, and secrets. The atmosphere is intense and the characters are vibrant.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“The Otherwhere Post” was a fantasy mystery that also managed to be both cozy and enchanting. The characters and plot were wholesome, the world was well-developed and unique, and the bad guy was someone that I never saw coming or ever suspected. Also, Tristan‘s and Maeve‘s banter was highly entertaining, and their relationship was very heartwarming. I cannot recommend this book enough!

I really liked this book. I thought it had a really good balance of mundane life, magic, adventure, romance, world building, and an intriguing storyline. I liked where the book went and was satisfied with the ending. I did think that the book started off slow and then would speed up and slow back down multiple times. I also wish there was a little more information on the scriptomancy, how exactly it worked, etc... 4/5

Once things really got going I was hooked and on the edge of my seat. The characters are interesting and relatable; I really admired Maeve‘s desire to clear her father‘s name and her willingness to do what she has to in order to accomplish that, as well as her overall desire to do what is right. I also liked Maeve‘s mentor, Tristan. He has a sassy, rebel element to him that I found refreshing and I liked the dynamic between him and Maeve.

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🔻

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
