I’ve never read something quite like this! It feels like WWII historical fiction but is definitely fantasy. (This war is between gods, not countries.) One thing I LOVED is the subtle ways this fantasy world is less patriarchal than ours. That’s one way you can tell it’s really not historical fiction lol. Women are fighting alongside men and in positions of power, and no one bats an eye. The letter writing is so beautiful, and I love our main characters. Will definitely be reading the sequel!
