gayfatherof3 's review for:
This Is How You Lose the Time War
by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
adventurous
emotional
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
The idea of this is great, but I feel like the execution and overall story is a bit convoluted. The letters from each character are the clear strength of this book. I truly felt moved by some of them, but apart from the letters, I felt the story was confusing and overtly complicated for the sake of being “artsy”. I didn’t hate this, but I don’t see myself picking this back up anytime soon. I would reread the letters, but the book as a whole? Probably not.
