A little hard to follow, but the story of an intense affair. Plan to reread.
Red and Blue are soldiers in a Time War that follows threads of time changing things to get their desired outcome for their respective sides, Agency and Garden. They begin to notice each other and respect their strategy, then leave letters in weird methods that draw them closer until the inevitable when their commands take notice. This was pretty confusing at the beginning. However, I pursued to the end. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
This must be a joke. This book is extremely tedious, badly written, trying to be poetic? I couldn't I couldn't read more than 10 pages.
