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

adventurous hopeful mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? Yes

5.0

lyrical and mesmerizing prose once you really get into the story, and i liked that their letters ranged from casual witty banter to “I want to drink tea beside you in ten years or a thousand”

the worldbuilding is abstract and sort of vague but i think it was meant to be written that way? not as the main focus but more to act as a backdrop for blue and red's relationship as they weave through time and space.

i get how the lack of understanding anything that’s going on would put off some readers but please #trust the process on this one.
