Review: This Is How You Lose the Time War [Science Fiction]

 

Rating: 5/5 stars

“This feels like teetering on the brink of something that will unmake me.”

Utterly impossibly, this book managed to exceed my expectations. Do not take me lightly when I say I expected this book to be a masterpiece - and it was more.

Literary genre fiction is something so rare it’s sometimes considered impossible. This Is How You Lose the Time War laughs in the face of critics who disparage science-fiction, and it is not literary and poetic in spite of being science-fiction, it simply is.

I feel like this book has turned me inside out, leaving my nervous system exposed like wires, raw and aching. I am going to carry this book with me for a very long time, like these characters carry their letters.
