This has to be one of the most beautiful books I have read in a long time...
This gripping and enchanting novel by bestselling authors Amal-El Mohtar and Max Gladstone follows two time-traveling spies from opposing futures as they make their way through the past, start exchanging letters, and eventually fall in love.
And the main characters weren't the only ones to fall in love, because I did too.
At first, I was convinced I'd missed something. There was so much context missing I was confused and couldn't quite understand what I was reading. The more I read, however, the more I began to understand, and I continued on to complete one of the most tragic, heartwrenching stories I have read in a very, very long time.
I don't have any criticisms. I think this book was perfect. From the language used; to the way the characters fell in love; to the way it ended. I loved it all.
