This book follows Blue and Red, who are from rival factions in a time war. They are working to influence time in the way their faction wants. They make contact via letters and continue to write to each other and develop a deep love for each other. 

 

This book was so different from what I typically read, but also so interesting. It did take me some time and rereading passages to figure out what was going on. I’m not a typical sci-fi reader, and it took me a bit to get into it. You start the book right in the action and work to figure out what happened before the book began. What drew me in, though, was the beautiful prose. The letters exchanged between Red and Blue were stunning, and it was so interesting to see the exploration of their relationship. Though this book is about time travel and war happening throughout timelines, it was the love story I was there for. I wanted to read so much more about the relationship that continued to develop between our main characters. 

 

I thought the world-building was great, and I felt I knew what was happening in this time-ravaged world. Through Blue and Red’s story, we understand these two enemies and what future they are seeking. I generally struggle with time-travel stories because the timelines can be difficult to navigate. This book bypassed the complexity by building a focus on the feelings between Blue and Red, with time travel as a backdrop to that story. 

 

This book was able to capture the deep love that can exist between two individuals while navigating a war-ravaged world. Blue and Red had such a unique relationship that I absolutely fell for them. I loved this unique story and recommend it to anyone who loves love.
