This Is How You Lose the Time War

Gorgeous, lyrical, expansive. How can a novella of 200 pages contain so much complexity and depth??!!
An astonishing achievement, it's definitely bucked the bounds of sc-fi with its poeticism and the ostensible paradox of its simultaneous intimacy and cosmic scope. Ursula Le Guin would be proud.
There are so many layers here. A joy of a creation.
I imagine Shu Qi and Lupita Nyong'o in the title roles of an epic adaptation.
