adventurous emotional funny hopeful lighthearted sad fast-paced

4.0

I really, really enjoyed This Is How You Lose the Time War! It was quite different from most things I read, and definitely a great spin on a time travel story. That said, at times I felt the writing was trying too hard. The writing sometimes felt overly poetic, when something a little simpler would have worked better and actually been more elegant. The result came that some sections of the book felt a bit like a fever dream, quick and frantic, but with details or information either missing or rushed through. Still, an excellent read and I’m happy I picked it up!
