AHHHHHH I read this book in one sitting and OHHHH MY GOODNESS

The prose has me weeping. It’s so beautiful. Why can’t I write like that. 

Sapphic love story told through letters between two agents on opposing sides of a war fought among different timelines? Hell fuckin yeah. 

“I love you. I love you. I love you. I’ll write it in waves. In skies. In my heart. You’ll never see, but you will know. I’ll be all the poets, I’ll kill them all and take each ones place in turn, and every time love’s written in all the strands it will be to you.”
