Two employees of a magical apothecary shop have a contentious relationship and each is unaware the other is the pen pal with whom they've fallen in love.
I enjoyed the story, but I found it too drawn out: it's over a hundred pages before one of the protagonists realizes the other is their correspondent, and then there still a couple of hundred pages left in the book. The anticipation that had been building up petered out by the time things actually started happening.
The world building isn't super detailed, but it's solid and the magic system is nifty and shown well.
Letters from the Last Apothecary is a three star read for me, but it will probably be higher for people who enjoy romances more than I do.
