This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
5.0
A heart-tearingly beautiful novella.
This is a poetic, elliptical, savage love story between two women on opposite sides of a time war, sparring with each other across all of history.
Barely meeting, they trade beautiful, increasingly romantic letters, hidden in outlandish ways to conceal their correspondence from their superiors.
Any plot description fails to do this book justice. It's like wading through language, trailing your fingers in imagination. Absolutely beautiful.
