This is How You Lose the Time War

Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar

DID NOT FINISH: 33%

DNF at 33%. I liked the premise and hated the execution. The writing is pretentious and annoying, and the writing is, unfortunately, the main thing the book relies on.
emotional hopeful lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

Warm hug of a book.
informative inspiring reflective medium-paced
funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

This was exactly what it says on the tin: a funny, over the top romcom with the most ridiculous premise I've read so far. There were moments I laughed so hard I cried, there were moments I cringed and wanted to drop the book, and there was a lot of movie references thrown around. TBH it's more like a three-star book, but I had fun and that's what counts the most.

I have no words. Probably the best Sanderson's books I have read.
