I had this sitting on my Kindle for a good few months and I can't believe I just only read it. I loved the entirety of this book. From the simple yet beautiful writing which made me want to continue reading at the end of each chapter to the fleshed out characters and world building. I do not have any faults for this book and it's definitely one of the best I've read this year. I'm not going to give away much because reading this with the bare minimum context allowed me to fully immerse in the beautiful world that K.Ancrum had crafted. The slow burn was perfectly paced and it was nice that the romance wasn't exactly the main plot of everything but played a large part in the story. The ending was also great. I didn't expect it to go that way and I'm glad that the two main characters were able to break the chain that made them friends in the first place.

Reread 3/1/21 : 4.5 Stars! I reread this in audiobook format and I found it a much better experience compared to my first read. I still love the letters between Red and Blue but I found the world much more interesting this time around. The narrator does a good job and this is also probably one of the best sci-fi romances I've read too! This feels like a book worth rereading from time-to-time and you'll probably notice much more things on the subsequent reads because boy, I forgot/missed out on many smaller details.
2019: 3 Stars. A good book but the flowery writing was confusing for me but the letters between the characters were really enjoyable! I'll have to reread this again soon and attempt to understand it better.
