Thankyou to NetGalley and Hachette UK Audio for a free audio ARC in exchange of an honest review!

This is my first book read that is fully comprised of letters and i have learnt that i adore this style!
It is lovely and whimsical and the way the book is split up into correspondences between multiple people really helped in keeping the pace up.
E and Henery are so cute and i wish we had more of those two however i found that i didn't dislike any of the different voices of correspondents and the side characters really add to the story. I loved the writing style- it was so descriptive and lyrical at times and the atmosphere felt kind of cosy.

The narrators really fitted the characters in the book and i loved that it have multiple narrators for the characters. It helped keep all the letters and people behind the letters separate in voices. Pace was great and overall quality of the audiobook was high

Cant wait for the 2nd instalment!

I really want to like this, beautiful cover, a new concept to fantasy but alas I couldn't get into it. I didn't vibe with any characters and ultimately it just didn't grab my curiosity or attention.

The story is told almost solidly through letters from lots of points of view - hard to keep track off in my opinion on audiobook.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book!

I had the privilege of reading both the ebook and audiobook of this title, and both were great!

The audiobook performances really helped with the individual character voices over the letters, with each narrator giving a fantastic and unique performance.
The story is told through letters and records, it's an epistolary tale set in a mystical underwater fantasy world. The romance and the friendships were the absolute highlight for me, and I can't wait for the next instalment!
