This Is How You Lose The Time War
Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
Review:
This was very well written but confusing. For much of the book, I was just like, what's happening? But it was also such an interesting concept. The way they meshed the stories together makes me think they wrote them back and forth with each other, and it was so clear that multiple hands contributed to the same Story. It was truly an epic love story. But I do think, as someone who doesn't always follow subplots and implied narratives very well, it was a difficult read. Hard to follow the intricacies of the Story. It is the type of book that you have to read multiple times to even remotely understand, and you notice new things every time. Interesting read!
