wyarttist 's review for:

This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
4.25
adventurous challenging emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated

A fun, quick read but was by no means an easy one, although that's not necessarily a bad thing. The prose was beautiful and at times above my reading level but made for a compelling narrative. This book was too short in character development for my personal tastes but at the same time it would not have worked had it been any longer. Overall an incredibly enjoyable read
and a bonus .25 stars for the open endedness of the ending
