This Is How You Lose the Time War by Max Gladstone, Amal El-Mohtar
4.0
I don't know how to rate this book.
I enjoyed it, I didn't find it that confusing (I'm really not sure what was supposed to be confusing about it?), and shockingly for me, I was able to guess one of the reveals pretty early on (though without context).
I feel like I missed something that lots of other people have found in this book, and that's leaving me at a 4 star rating.
This book has beautiful prose, and I love the details the authors wove into their letters. I am left with quite a few questions about the world in general, which I can accept, but also about more specific things that are mentioned and then never explained.
I also hate open endings, but I recognize that that's a me problem.

This book held up pretty well to my memory of it from high school! Neither the six year old nor the sixteen year old talk like their ages, though, which took me out of the story a bit. Still a good ghost/vampire tale!

This was such a fun read and exactly what I needed when so many books haven’t been keeping my attention!
Nimona by ND Stevenson

Something about this just really didn't work for me, and I can't put my finger on why. I know it's the ending-- something about it just isn't sitting well.
