Tra le ceneri di un mondo in rovina, un'agente del comandamento trova una lettera: "bruciare prima di leggere". Inizia così la strana corrispondenza tra due agenti rivali, Rossa e Blu, emissarie di due fazioni in lotta, ciascuna desiderosa di controllare il passato per dominare il futuro. Ma quella che è iniziata come una sfida a distanza presto si trasforma in qualcosa di diverso. Qualcosa di epico. Qualcosa di romantico... Qualcosa che potrebbe farle uccidere. Perché in fine dei conti c'è una guerra in corso. E qualcuno deve vincerla. Non è così che funziona?

Not for everyone...

... or to be honest most people, but I really liked it. I took it SLOW though, finishing it in about twice my average pace, i believe... which allowed me to really enjoy the beautiful poetic nature of the book and really rather incredible writing. And then i read it again... and possibly enjoyed it more? that's not happened before ._.

probably not for everyone, but it's very good

it's a magical realist (?) romance in a science fiction Time War setting, an unusual choice, but one that works well, given how strange the consequences of warping causality would be. If you can get ahold of the audio book, it's pretty good, has different readers for Blue and Red.

Beautifully written and inventive; but not my cuppa

For all this book's beautiful, poetic narrative, and hugely imaginative premise, I couldn't engage with it fully. I was too impatient for the plot, and I had to make myself read it rather than jump eagerly in for the next installment.
