I found the plot to be engaging (especially in the second book), and the political tensions along with several of the antagonists (Gassandrid in particular) were very well-crafted. However, for each of its broad strengths, <em>The Licanius Trilogy</em> had a number of specific weaknesses, so the majority of my review is going to be critical. /fantasy/how-you-lose-time-war/ Wed, 20 Oct 2021 18:16:15 +0000 /fantasy/how-you-lose-time-war/ <em>This is How You Lose the Time War</em> is not really about a time war. There is a time war contained in it, and if I&rsquo;m being generous, I can say that there is a plot that involves time travel and a war, but this book is not about a time war. It&rsquo;s unapologetically a romance told in letters between two women who start out as strangers and then almost immediately become pen-pal lovers in what was to me an unbelievably short correspondence period (I hesitate to use the phrase &ldquo;period of time&rdquo; given the context).
