will always rave about this book because 1) gay shit 2) the beautiful and poetic writing 3) the way it's told through a series of letters between the main characters is so well done — tl;dr sci-fi, enemies to lovers, told through passages of time

“Rival agents in a war between technology and nature fall in love. Cyborg Red and fae-like Blue race up and down the “braid” of time sabotaging each others war efforts, and leaving hidden love notes that question the ceaseless fight, and if the women can trust enough to choose each others humanity over either’s cause. Poetic and perfectly succinct, this book has my heart and has brought me back to”
