This style of storytelling seems to flow well, and it works particularly well here as we fly through times, landscapes and space, each changing so quickly that these letters allow you to just go along with it.Įach new letter is a wonderful work of imagination, from the way it is written (in seeds to be consumed, or tea leaves, or water to be boiled), to the way it’s read (one has an instruction to burn before reading, another is read through a sting, another by the consuming of the previously mentioned seeds). Red and Blue take up a correspondence, and the novel proceeds in epistolary format, which is something I usually enjoy. So romantic, and the writing was lovely, lyrical, and inventive. I was totally engrossed in this story of two agents on different sides of a long and complex war through time and space who take up a correspondence that spans years and sees them go from rivals to friends to falling for each other despite all the things that should keep them apart. I hardly know where to begin with this one. I was in the mood for something completely different when I picked up This Is How You Lose the Time War. Something that could change the past and the future.Įxcept the discovery of their bond would mean death for each of them. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, grows into something more.
Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions.
Authors: Amal El-Mohtar and Max GladstoneĪmong the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandant finds a letter.
