Ah yes. Romance PEAKED when this was written. Poetry also peaked when this was written. What a gift it was to read this!
Although I wouldn’t say this is without flaws, it was also written in a way to fully satisfy my reading preferences. I love a deeply romantic narrative set in a sci-fi setting that is hard to grasp. Who needs to know how the technology works when you can be swept away by the beauty in the letters Red and Blue write to each other? NOT I. I don’t need that nonsense 😌 I need only Romance.
Being serious though, I adored this. It truly is a love story. It’s not a romance novel in a traditional sense, so I wouldn’t call it that. It is a love story between two women caught in opposite sides of a time war. It has some of the most beautiful confessions of love I’ve read. It’s beautiful, and I love it just the way it is.
Eventually… I might find more to say. As it stands, I highly recommend this. It made me swoon, and it made my heart ache.
