![]() ![]() Any emotion I felt was nearly entirely down to a character telling me how I should feel in a letter. I felt very little for our characters because of who they were or what they did. On the other hand, I felt the prose was what pulled me through much more than the characters or the plot. As a writing exercise this was incredibly well realised. The prose is beautiful, poetic, and lyrical, and yet it never lost me or felt clunky. This is a beautifully written novella, and I can totally understand how it won a Hugo award. It begins when one agent leaves a letter for their opposition and we follow as they continue to converse throughout many times and ages. This Is How You Lose the Time War is a Sci-fi novella following two agents from opposing agencies who travel through the braids of time in an ever expanding time war. This will be a short review for a short book. ![]()
