This is How You Lose the Time War is unlike any other book I have ever read. It definitely requires some extra time and thought. The writing is superbly, intoxicatingly poetic and the story, while sometimes jarring in its jumps between the main characters and time and place, is enthralling.

There is a profound otherworldliness in the story, however in some ways it is also very relevant to our world today in that there are warring factions that each refuse to see any good in the other party's philosophy, and so they are both doing "evil" by trying to eliminate the other party's members completely.

I spent weeks thinking about this book once I finished it, and it is in my stack of "to be read again soon".
