This is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
5.0
5/5 red and blue stars.
I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this, I didn't know that I would leave this work confused, angry, sad, happy, enamored and craving for more.
It was nothing like I thought it was going to be - mind you I was going off title alone. I didn't expect a beautiful, complicated sapphic love story. The writers' ways with words had me on the verge of tears; it was one of the most beautifully written works I have read in a while. Because even though there is no proper world or character building and no real explanations as to what is happening, I went into this story so easily and was transported into those awful yet beautiful worlds that I didn't want to get out of.
"I am your echo. I would rather break the world than lose you."
