Review:

I don't think I would have finished this book if I hadn't seen a review on YouTube.  With that being said, I am glad I read this book.   I am not into romance stories as they generally are.  This one though is the kind of romance I do like.  

I feel this story is how I would find someone I loved if I bothered to even think about finding someone.  Not the time travelling, but finding someone who starts as a rival but with respect, turns into friendship, then into love.  A love that sneaks up on them.  To find someone you would die for or change the world for is what I want, but will never have unless it is through a book.

Goodreads Description:

Two time-traveling agents from warring futures, working their way through the past, begin to exchange letters—and fall in love in this thrilling and romantic book from award-winning authors Amal-El Mohtar and Max Gladstone.

Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandant finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading.

Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, grows into something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.

Except the discovery of their bond would mean death for each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win that war. That’s how war works. Right?

Cowritten by two beloved and award-winning sci-fi writers, This Is How You Lose the Time War is an epic love story spanning time and space.
