This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar

slow-paced

2.75

I genuinely don’t know what to write. I read this whole book and i have no idea why the war started,  how does it unravel, who is in charge, how the time travel? works. It’s all so confusing because nothing is established ag the beginning and throughout the book we only get a couple of glimpses into the world but thats it. I liked idea of the love story itself but it was executed so poorly it was just sad. The characters were not fleshed out in the slightest, i know barely anything about them. I genuinely don’t know what i would tell a person if they asked me what the book was about, that’s how undeveloped everything is. And it’s such a shame cuz the writing is amazing, the author truly has a way with words. But from all the hype i heard, this was a big disappointment.
