Why did I love this book?
Just knowing this book has not one, but two amazing authors should tell you it isn’t your usual fiction novel. But just in case you need more convincing, think C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters but without all the religiosity. The story is told not from anyone’s point of view, but from missives left behind by time agents working for rival factions trying to control the future. The reader must piece together the world the agents live in just from the glimpses in letters they leave behind. And how better to tell a love story that spans the test of time and space? Just such a refreshing conveyance of great fiction.
