This is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
5.0
let me start off by saying i understood so little but felt so so much. why would i need to understand anything about science when the letters about love were so profound and hard hitting. the writing, impeccable, delicious, scrumptious.
this book was good for a gay himbo such as myself. dont think too much just enjoy the ride. if you like gideon the ninth and all that lesbian scifi buffoonery (aka love so all consuming you wanna smack ur head into the wall and also cool scifi shit) then you'll like this.
"But if you hunger, I swell. You have me watch-
ing birds, and though I don't know their names
like you know them, I have seen small bright sing-
ers puff before they trill. That's how I feel. I sing
myself out to you, and my talons clutch the branch,
and I am wrung out until your next letter gives me
breath, fills me to bursting."
"Do you laugh, sea foam? Do you smile, ice,
and observe your triumph with an angels remove?
Sapphire-flamed phoenix, risen, do you command
me once again to look upon your works and
despair?"
