This Is How You Lose The Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
5.0
A TikTok book that actually meets the hype set for it.
It's beautiful and chaotic and wonderful. I found myself going back a re-listening to chapters like one would go back and read letters from a beloved.
I also at other times felt compelled to pick up the book physically and consume it that way to see those words in front of me.
When I got to the end of this book I realized that I had listened to it at normal speed, which is incredibly abnormal for me as someone who typically listens to something at 1.3-2.0x speed because my brain processes it better. But this book kept me so engaged without needing to do so.
Also this book definitely scratched the itch I have for well written Soulmates in fiction.
