Audiobook narrated by Cynthia Farrell & Emily Woo Zeller.
One of my favourite books of last year, when the audiobook came up as a daily deal, I snapped up the chance to relive the story. This Is How You Lose the Time War is a quirky, sci-fi romance which is purple to the point of beauty and deliciously tangled.
- I loved the dynamic of the two characters and the way they communicated and over time changed each other.
- The language at first seems a little over the top but as you delve further into the book, it makes perfect sense to have such rich and complex prose.
- The feelings this book generates as it goes through the story... I loved it as much as I did the first time, if not more.
- The only downside of the audio version: the narrator mispronounces some names and words and each time it broke my immersion.
One of my favourite books and I would recommend it to everyone and anyone but especially those that enjoy meaningful LGBT+ relationships, time travel and gorgeous prose.
