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

5.0

Very beautifully written and surprisingly (and cleverly!) self contained for a novel about a time travel war. The prose is poetic and romantic, and I feel like you do have to be in the mood for it, but luckily I was in the right mood to be immersed and I enjoyed every bit of it. Both Red and Blue are fantastically tragic and funny and ruthless, best in their fields. Love all their teasing and taunts and subsequently getting enamored with each other. This novella was super fun and super romantic and I loved the ending. o/
