⏰Red and Blue could not be more unalike; their names alone suggest as much. Their only commonality is that they are good at what they do; in fact, they are the best. Red is a member of the Agency, a technological society. Blue is part of the Garden, composed of organic matter. The Garden and the Agency are at war, across the strands of time, with no end in sight.⁣
⏰One day Red stumbles upon a letter that states, “burn before reading.” The relationship that follows between Red and Blue, through their letters to each other, pushes them both beyond their limits and their comfort zones, ultimately leading both characters to a major epiphany.⁣

⏰I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, from beginning to end. It definitely went in a different direction than I thought it would, based on an excerpt that I read, but that did not take away from my enjoyment. ⁣
⏰I love the form in which the story is told, jumping from action, to letter, and back again. The forms the letters take are so creative, and all the different settings that Red and Blue find themselves leads to so much variety in the tale.⁣

⏰This Is How You Lose The Time War, to me, is a metaphor for our society today. It’s almost like people are in a fight with their electronics and technology. Technology is depended on, over people, too much today and we have forgotten where we came from. We need to find a balance; we need to find a purple.
