1 year agoI liked the book very much. I just finished watching the 2nd season of Loki and there’s some similarities, such as temporal agents and Loki & Sylvie starting as enemies but warming to each other. I liked the way the war was conducted indirectly, subtly poisoning the enemies timeline and laying mines and traps for the opposition who will inevitably jump in to un fuck their situation. Also I found the two opposing time factions equally believable while still being surreal in their own way.
It was good and (to stay on topic) Loki is treated and behaves much like the characters in ‘Time War’. He’s a timeless cosmic being while also being a guy who wants friends and eats key lime pie. In time war the characters still enjoy sensual human activities and experience loneliness, even though their bodies are mutable, gender fluid, and sometimes not even human.
