The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy

An interesting world and very strong characters! I saw a quote calling this “a romance wrapped in a western wrapped in a fantasy” and I think that is exactly right. It was actually a tiiiiny bit too “gritty” for my cozy tastes sometimes, but I am a self-proclaimed wimp with an overactive imagination, so my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt. ;)

The letter element (and the mail deliverers!) was cute and insightful. I did kind of wonder why they never exchanged names at least . . . I mean, that would have cut short the plot, though ;) The characters' reflections and developments were the best part for me, definitely.

Overall I'd particularly recommend this to people who like that somewhat apocalyptic or western/cowboy flavor to their fantasy & romance. It's not my personal jam, but I did still enjoy the characters' growth!
