The read for October is “This is How You Lose the Time War.” I’ll make a discussion post on the last day of the month and we can talk about the book!

I’ve not yet read it myself, it looks like the suggested age is 22+ but some are saying it’s 13+

According to some reviews I’ve seen, it appears that there is some violence that occurs in the novel, but essentially no actual “spice”. But id see what people have read it would have to say first

I think it would totally be fine! I read much worse in YA at 14 than anything in time war. It has some fantasy violence and mature moments, but not explicit mature. Just like, bigger conceptually mature. It’s gorgeously written and pretty short. I think it’d be great for 14.
