I admit the beginning was confusing, but once I got a bit further in, I was hooked! My favorite parts are the letters from Red to Blue and vice versa - the enemies to lovers trope in a whole different and unique way. I strive to have someone write to me the way they write to each other (swoon). My only small complaint - I would‘ve liked a little more backstory on how the war started, more origin story. The beautiful writing is just 🔥

CBee @Sapphire thank you 😊 @monalyisha thank you for #ALSpine!! 1y
CBee I‘m going to use this for #booked2023 #twiststretchbalance and I‘m basing it on how the threads of time are twisted, stretched, balanced to change outcomes and such. @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @alisiakae 1y
Read-y_Picker LeVar Burton read a selection from this book on his podcast a few years ago and it's been on my TBR ever since. Have to get to it! 1y

Deblovestoread I tried to read this one awhile ago. Your review makes me think I might have bailed too early…back on the TBR it goes! 1y
TrishB I‘ve had this on the tbr a while! You may have pushed it up the pile. 1y
CBee @Deblovestoread I can understand why you couldn‘t get into it - it is a bit confusing. I tried to focus on the gorgeous writing and the letters between Red and Blue are mostly what kept me reading. It‘s also quite short! 1y
CBee @Read-y_Picker love LeVar! I need to check out his podcast. 1y
CBee @TrishB 😊😊 1y
willaful I'm going to give this a try in print, because I was so confused when I tried the ebook and I'm hoping that will help. 1y
CBee @willaful was it audio? Because yeah, that would‘ve totally lost me too 😳😂 1y
Read-y_Picker @CBee omg you should! He reads selected short stories. All genres but honestly he favours sff. He is so talented, the stories he curated, the production and delivery *chef‘s kiss* 1y
CBee @Read-y_Picker sounds amazing!! 1y
GondorGirl This is one of my very favorite books! It's one of the only times where I finished a book and immediately started it over again. 🥰 1y
CBee @GondorGirl oh wow!! I definitely think I would catch some things I missed the first time. And the ending was 🔥♥️ 1y
Cinfhen I‘ve heard wonderful things about this book but I couldn‘t get into it - I must try again😅 1y
CBee @Cinfhen it definitely takes a bit to get into! 1y

I forgot about the twist! 😂

First book for #auldlangspine @monalyisha @AllDebooks and after sleeping on my review I have to give it 5 🌟 again (was going to be 4.75 last night!) It also covers #weather and #landscapes for #naturalitsybingo2023.

AllDebooks Yay, so thrilled you still love it. I hate rereading a book, then struggling to see what I liked about it. Well done on ✔️ off so many prompts 👏😀 1y
Librarybelle I really need to read this one 1y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1y
Bluebird @Librarybelle me too! I‘m embarrassed to admit I‘ve not yet read anything by Daphne du Maurier. She‘s been on my radar since my college days but somehow I never got around to any. 1y
Librarybelle @Bluebird The only I have read is Rebecca, which is so good! I have a copy of My Cousin Rachel which I hope to read sometime this year. 1y
Bluebird @Librarybelle Those 2 and Jamaica Inn are the ones I keep hearing about. I am going to make a point of reading at least one before years end! Thanks to you and @jenniferw88 for prodding me to finally read Daphne du Maurier! 1y
