Eu amo cobras

One specific word pops into my head whenever I think of anything Little Women-related: darling. It's a darling story, a cozy tale of a family of girls who are virtuous and kind and lovely and grow up to be virtuouser and kinder and lovelier. Delightful at its best, honestly preachy and draggy at its worst, it's the kind of book you can read at your own pace, finding, more often than not, some little thing to keep your heart warm.

I find myself wanting to like this book desperately, but I don't know what to think. Don't get me wrong: This Is How You Lose the Time War has beautiful prose and romance, fascinating worldbuilding and a satisfactory ending, but ultimately I don't think it agrees with my brain or the way I read stuff.
