Pronouns: he/him I want to read more (like in the good `ol days in school, when I was so bored at times; just the more time for reading part though, NOT the school and boredom part 😅) Gatekeeping art and literature is a No-No for me! I read mostly for fun, which can be on a spectrum from How Fascism works to two antropromorphic fish falling in love (not the Disney version). From what gives our words meaning to The Legend of Zelda mangas. The books I read are in German and English, but I currently started to learn Spanish (again), let's see...

Sehr interessant under überraschend verständlich geschrieben, wenn auch zu weilen leicht redundant (alles im Rahmen). Bin sehr gespannt auf den 3. Teil wo es um Wittgensteins Argumentation, nicht mehr um mögliche Einwände gegen das Paradox geht

Content warning Minor spoiler for the ending, not story related
Amazingly written and as emotional as always! Because it is the longest book of the whole Death Cast series to date and sticks more to the main characters, we get to know the two protagonists much more thoroughly than in the other two books. It follows Paz and Alan, who we both already know as children from “The First to Die at the End”, which is also why I think it’s necessary to read that book before. I do however, think that “the first to die at the end” is my favorite out of the Death Cast series, just from a style and enjoyment perspective (though the first will always stick to me because I was so positively surprised by it).
[I think that’s because it does not feel like being fully round because of the cliffhanger (somewhat literally), so I am in anticipation of the sequel to this sequel! If anyone can give me a draft of “No one knows who dies at the end” pls send it to me 👉👈🥺. I feel like it is hard to compare it to its predecessor because of the missing book — similar to the second Spider-Verse movie with the third one still not out yet!! — which is necessary to fully understand a lot of plot lines this book touched on.]
So this is not to say that I don’t urge everyone to read this book! I still love it, especially because of how well it deals with these important topics of mental health, self-love, and suicide.
Adam Silvera created fast but no less emotional read, as always!

»This is How You Lose the Time War« is a truly stunning piece of writing.
I still can’t comprehend how Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone could squeeze so many genres and ideas into such a short book, without it feeling overwhelming. Science fiction, space opera, star-crossed romance, time travel et cetera. It’s probably easier to count what this book is not than what it is.
Though I must admit that I found it a bit cheesy at the end, the book still managed to catch me off guard with heartbreaking plot twists. I don’t think I can ever reread this book without tears when Blue writes »As you wish« or the last sentences: »Maybe this is how we win, Red. You and me. This is how we win.«
Unconditional and unreserved reading recommendation!
