Timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly F/F romance
"Perhaps someday they’ll assign us side by side, in some small village far upthread, deep cover, each watching each, and we can make tea together, trade books, report home sanitized accounts of each other’s doings. I think I’d still write letters, even then."
Setting: time war
Characters: 2 agents / warriors of the opposing sides of the war
Plot: These 2 agents meet as they go against each other in this time war. They start to leave letters to taunt each other. But! Through their letters, they get to know each other - and fall in love.
The writing in these short 200 pages is superb. The idea, the execution, the grace in this slow dance and then wild chase. The structure of the book follows the same patter through the book and gives a familiar tempo, which helped me focus on the beautiful prose and on the emotions.
This futuristic, F/F Romeo & Juliet is among the best books I've read in 2019 and one I will reread.
