I wanted to love this book but the narrative style (only letters/telegrams/etc) was too jarring for me. I tend to avoid books with that style with only a few exceptions (mostly classics like Dracula) because it takes some SERIOUS concentration and a notepad for me to keep track of details 🤣

Pity, there are so many books out there with that style that are amazing from what I hear but my poor brain just does not compute!

Haha, never mind! Writing style is a matter of taste sometimes. Personally I loved the letter narrative style; I thought it added extra authenticity, like I was reading real letters written by real people, delving into their world.

Oh it does! I wish I could make sense of it better since it lends a lovely unique voice to the narrative. Sadly I seem to lack the brain to handle it without some SERIOUS confusion. So weird 🤣
