I'm trying to read This Is How You Lose The Time War, but I'm struggling to understand what is going on, and I'm not sure if it gets better. It feels like a dense read. I heard so much about it, but perhaps I'm too impatient?

@RHW @dilmandila @bookstodon individual taste, then. I loved it, thought it was one of the best things I have read in years. The confusion and being hard to follow are necessary side effects of both of them continually messing with the time line.
100 Years of Solitude and Catch-22 are the same there.
But don't feel bad about not liking it. Put it down and move on to another book!
