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

4.0

I don't know how to rate this book.

I enjoyed it, I didn't find it that confusing (I'm really not sure what was supposed to be confusing about it?), and shockingly for me, I was able to guess one of the reveals pretty early on (though without context).

I feel like I missed something that lots of other people have found in this book, and that's leaving me at a 4 star rating.

This book has beautiful prose, and I love the details the authors wove into their letters. I am left with quite a few questions about the world in general, which I can accept, but also about more specific things that are mentioned and then never explained.

I also hate open endings, but I recognize that that's a me problem.
