“P.S. Owls are fascinating creatures, but its harder than I thought to convince them to take food. Maybe this one didn’t trust me.”
A love story across time is a trope I’ve always enjoyed and yet this new novel injects life into a well-used conceit. Time consists of strands of endless possibilities and an ongoing war between opposing forces that shift and shake the continuum in never-ending and bloody ways.
Opponents Red and Blue have an inexplicable connection that challenges the status quo. Through their letters they develop a bond that shifts their very being. The love they bear is so much more than a physical longing. It transcends time and space. Written in collaboration by two authors, the fact that each one voiced one of the characters provided additional depth of voice that was compelling to read.
There is a sense of the vague and obtuse to begin with, but as the relationship grows between the two opponents, so does the reader’s appreciation for the ‘world’ in which the book is set.
A book that was equal parts novel and delightful. The cover will make a beautiful addition to any bookshelf and I am totally enamoured by the joint author photoshoot on the flap jacket.
5 out of 5 strands of love that springs eternal.
