And just like the first time, the book still occupies a place in the back of my brain, not yet willing to let go. The critique I had on the book then were still there, but I managed to lose myself in their story more this time. It was very rewarding to do so, to come back to Red and Blue and their story. But the book kept nagging at me, lingering in the back of my mind so I bought a physical copy to read it a second time. I’d listened to the audiobook when it came out and enjoyed it, but didn’t love it.

I’m always really excited when people love a book they wouldn’t have picked up themselves and it was great to hear that more than once during the evening.įor me, reading This is How You Lose the Time War was a reread. This is How You Lose the Time War clearly wasn’t a book for everyone in our book club, but for some this book was a new favorite. We had a good discussion on the worldbuilding, the point of the time war and whether or not this was ‘good’ science-fiction. A science-fiction time travel romance novel that wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea. We started 2021 with a book that was unlike many of the other ones we read.
