This Is How You Lose the Time War

1.00/5.00

If I was much more intelligent, patient and well-read person, I might be able to appreciate this book. Unfortunately, this book is beyond me. I found the prose hard to follow and absurdity of the fantasy element quite undigestable. I can tell that its a beautifully written book, but it made no sense most of the time. I would read a sentence two times over to realize that it is a complicated metaphor. No book has ever made me feel as stupid as this one.

Wouldn't this be more enjoyable if it was more approachable ? Ultimately, this book feels more like PhD thesis project, written for writers, and not for normal people.

The plot was good, I saw the twist coming, but didn't the final twist coming.
