I'm surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did since I'm awful at sticking with books where the science fiction “doesn't make sense” or “isn't possible” (which is absurd, I know). The book requires you to suspend your disbelief and just accept that the fictional technology is so far advanced it may as well be magic. If you can do that the rest of the story is incredibly rewarding and beautiful.

It wasn't perfect. Some parts of the narrative were confusing to me (but then again I also read the book quickly and maybe I should have taken my time with the more complex passages). It also has the audacity to end before I wanted it to.

Overall, This is How You Lose the Time War was pretty great and I'm probably going to be recommending it to a lot of my friends.
