This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
adventurous
mysterious
reflective
medium-paced
2.0
Overall, I would classify this book as neither great nor bad, simply okay. The writing is highly confusing due to its flowery nature and the narrators difficult to distinguish between. But if someone can accept its nearly incomprehensible nature and enjoy the prettiness of the writing instead, it can be a short and enjoyable read.
