This book honestly has one of the most interesting plot, I have read in a while. The plot is - there's a war between two factions and they are fighting the war across different times and want their version of future to happen. Amidst this war, two fighters from opposing factions befriend each other through letters. See, really fucking interesting!
But the final outcome comes across as... pretentious and superficial. It is something trying to be deep but it never actually hit that note for me.
Don't get me wrong the writing is fantastic (I loved the letters) but it feels more appropriate for short stories that are meant to be ambiguous so that the reader interprets. Here the characters, motivations behind their actions lack the emotional weight that should be shown to the reader.
Hence, I would have liked this book a lot more, had it been a collection of short stories set in this world.
