Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandment finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading.
Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.
Except the discovery of their bond would mean the death of each of them. There’s still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win. That’s how war works, right?
Cowritten by two beloved and award-winning sci-fi writers, This Is How You Lose the Time War is an epic love story spanning time and space.

Not for me: This Is How You Lose the Time War
This Is How You Lose the Time War is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. The middle drags and repeats the same tension a bit too long. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.

Really enjoyed: This Is How You Lose the Time War
⚠️ Spoilers: minor plot detail mentioned below. This Is How You Lose the Time War is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. The pacing stays moving and the chapters end on good beats. There’s a specific turning point late in the book that changes the tone hard — that moment will make or break it for you. Not perfect, but it did enough to keep me turning pages.
