Stalled. Good start, but the epistolary format was wearing a little thin. The indirect nature of both the conflict and the protagonists' contact was tantalising, but also frustrating; perhaps seeing the characters interacting with their own sides would help. The writing is often exquisite, but can oversteps the fine line into 'Proux-level purpleness', where the cleverness brings you to a halt in wonder.
