This is How You Lose the Time War

This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone is an epic tale in epistolary novella form.

Two agents, one on each side trying to shape Earth to a future that benefits their side, leave letters for the other as they roam the very strands of time. The first letter left is in an envelope that says, "burn before reading."

One side is called Garden. They are shaping the world to heal itself, planting seeds down strand that will blossom in the future.

One side is tech driven, often placed to alter the outcome of a war or election that will favor the development of technology.

 In spite of two sides, many times and versions this beautifully written and crafted love story is a must read for all book or poetry fans. Buy a copy today so you can read it over and over again.
