“They grew up sort of weird and sort of wonderful and they found each other and lost each other over and over again. There were scenes right from the jump that almost had me in tears.Īlso the opening scene is "Five minutes too late, thirty seconds from the end of the world." And I mean, with a start like that, what could go wrong? Please go pre-order this so she writes a sequel. How Seanan McGuire manages to keep things fast paced, fun, and totally otherworldly.but then throws in some Real Life Shit, is inspired. Roger and Dodger are precious cinnamon buns who must be protected at all costs. It was my perfect brand of weird, and her writing is so addictive, and also.accessible? But this isn't a genre (actually.what even subgenre does this fall into) I ever read.so those well versed in this alchemical, mythological, SFF shit- could find something lacking for all I know. I have an inkling this isn't going to be for everyone, I must admit. This was my first Seanan McGuire outside of (one of my favourite series of all time) The Wayward Children books, and I figured there's no way I could TRULY love an adult fantasy novel about science.and gods.right?īut slap my ass and call me Judy, if this isn't one of my new favourite books of all time. For some reason I was hella nervous to actually get into this book. It's honestly just so well written I can barely stand it. This synopsis had been taunting me for months.
Pray it isn’t attained.Īt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied. But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own. Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realise it. All she understands, she does so through the power of math. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him. New York Times bestselling and Alex, Nebula, and Hugo-Award-winning author Seanan McGuire introduces readers to a world of amoral alchemy, shadowy organizations, and impossible cities in this standalone fantasy.
