I truly don’t know how to describe this book and give it the justice it deserves. There’s almost no world building. There’s a time war. You will not find out why, or what drives each side. And you won’t care. By the time you get to the middle of this delightfully short and rich book, you won’t care. It doesn’t matter. All that matters is the words, Red and Blue, and what happens next. And next isn’t always next, especially when time is fluid. Highly recommend picking this one up and getting lost in the beautiful prose between these two. I think you’ll find it’s time well-spent.
