This is How you Lose the Time War

 


it tells the story of 2 agents, Red & Blue, from opposing factions that are in the race of controlling the time flow. it begins with Red receiving a taunting letter from Blue, which kick-started a long history of letters exchanged in the most unexpected ways. from being enemies to confidantes & eventually falling prey to inescapable passion, making them question their missions & their very existence. no one ever waits for another, instead they seek each other out & that makes a whole different world. all this while trying to avoid getting caught by their factions, or else it'd spell death. 

i cried in several moments of this book bcoz the words just hurt & they felt too real. so heartbreaking in its beauty. it ruined me. it's like a love story of epic proportions. the way Red & Blue write & send their letters? come on! the deliberate care each of them makes these? unbelievable & i was in awe. such a unique & revolutionary take on time travel & romance. 

the writing is divine. the little things & the subtle way they show their affection to each other, omg. the prose is breathtakingly good. the sort of book that comes one in a thousand for me. GOLD. a glowing, solid 5/5. i may sound like i'm exaggerating, but i'm not! and oh, it won many literary awards. so if that's not saying something, idk what will.
