4/5. Young adult fantasy trilogy about a boy and girl who begin exchanging letters through a crack between Cambridge and a magical kingdom where colors run wild and may kill you or change you forever.
Delightful. This has a perfectly pitched mix of whimsy and complexity. More than once I thought a character existed merely to be funny or to add to the scenery, only to discover, a twist of plot or emotion later, something much deeper and more complex. Also, this is epistolary done right, which is my kryptonite.
