This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
4.0

I never seem to know that a book is hella strange until I’m in too deep. This book is maybe one of the strongest examples of that for me. I liked it though, it’s simply beautiful. It gets confusing at times, and starts out slow. I’m glad that there wasn’t too much world building all condensed at the beginning, but instead it was incorporated gradually. The relationship between Blue and Red, the poetic language used by the authors and the details of this beautiful world slowly grow until suddenly the passion of it all is almost too strong.
