About this listen
Winner of the 2020 Hugo Award for Best Novella, the Reddit Stabby Award for Best Novella AND The British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Novella
Two time-travelling agents from warring futures, working their way through the past, begin to exchange letters - and fall in love in this thrilling and romantic book from award-winning authors Amal-El Mohtar and Max Gladstone.
Among the ashes of a dying world, an agent of the Commandant finds a letter. It reads: Burn before reading.
Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, grows into something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.
Except the discovery of their bond would mean death for each of them. There's still a war going on, after all. And someone has to win that war. That's how war works. Right?

One of my favourite books of last year, when the audiobook came up as a daily deal, I snapped up the chance to relive the story. This Is How You Lose the Time War is a quirky, sci-fi romance which is purple to the point of beauty and deliciously tangled.
- I loved the dynamic of the two characters and the way they communicated and over time changed each other.
- The language at first seems a little over the top but as you delve further into the book, it makes perfect sense to have such rich and complex prose.
- The feelings this book generates as it goes through the story... I loved it as much as I did the first time, if not more.
- The only downside of the audio version: the narrator mispronounces some names and words and each time it broke my immersion.
One of my favourite books and I would recommend it to everyone and anyone but especially those that enjoy meaningful LGBT+ relationships, time travel and gorgeous prose.

Regarding the narration, both narrators are excellent actors and narrators. They do sound somewhat similar to be so I was initially confused as to who was speaking, but that's a very minor issue.
The authors should be proud of themselves.
Breathtakingly poetic and enthralling

From the story depth to narration. Don’t miss this one, eventhough it is short for the price of one credit. You won’t be dissapointed.
Simply…
