This Is How You Lose the Time War
by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
This book is very poetic, which is both beautiful and challenging. It is beautifully written, full of play on words and hidden meanings. I also had to focus really hard to keep up and understand it, especially because there is a lot about the setting that just kind of isn’t explained.
This book is very artsy, but also feels modern and funny with its contemporary references thrown in. The mystery and resolution are really well done. It also explores really interesting ideas about parallel timelines/parallel people and places.
I’m not sure that this book is completely my cup of tea, but I can appreciate how masterfully put together the story is and I was definitely invested in the unfolding of Red and Blue’s relationship.
The reading in the audiobook was lovely, but the audio quality was a bit weird andI struggled to keep up with it (probably because this is a book that takes thinking to understand!) so I ended up rereading it with a text copy.
