"[An] exquisitely crafted tale...Part epistolary romance, part mind-blowing science fiction adventure, this dazzling story unfolds bit by bit, revealing layers of meaning as it plays with cause and effect, wildly imaginative technologies, and increasingly intricate wordplay...This short novel warrants multiple readings to fully unlock its complexities." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
From award-winning authors Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone comes an enthralling, romantic novel spanning time and space about two time-traveling rivals who fall in love and must change the past to ensure their future.
Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading.
Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.
Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There's still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That's how war works, right?
Cowritten by two beloved and award-winning sci-fi writers, This Is How You Lose the Time War is an epic love story spanning time and space.

The prose, the poetry, the plot, an astonishing masterpiece <3
And the Deluxe Edition is just beautiful :)
Two Characters on the opposite side of changing the world and it’s history. But their deeply connected and leave letters for each other. A tale of trust and love.
The world building is masterfully executed and directly implied in the prose or the letters that start every chapter.
Some say it was difficult to read. I’d put it like this:
It‘s good to be attentive and observant while reading but it’s absolutely worth it. Even if you get lost or carried away sometimes by the wonderful, empathetic and poetic writing. Just go with it, enjoy it.
If you really feel like you didn’t get or missed something just go back a few lines. Read again. Your effort will be rewarded :)
so so beautiful

This story was so beautiful that it gave me goosebumps and I devoured it.
This Is How You Lose the Time War is a short love story about two rival agents on opposite sides of a time war. Through their letters, we gradually witness their characters and their relationship gradually unfolding. Full of yearning, it’s a captivating and intimate read with such beautiful prose. I almost never reread books, but I would pick this one up again just to take in every detail and etch the words into my mind. The fact that the main characters are two strong, smart and badass women makes the story even more powerful.
I should mention that I initially found it difficult to follow and it may not be for everyone. I think that it is intentionally disorienting, with the time shifts and a lack of context, so you have to slow down while reading and can interpret parts of the story as you wish.
For me, though, every moment of confusion was worth it, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something different.
