Book description
Middlegame: Where Math and Magic Collide with Hilarious Consequences
Seanan McGuire has done it again - and by "it," I mean crafted something so delightfully bonkers that you'll question every basic assumption about reality you ever held. This isn't just fantasy; it's fantasy that's apparently been taking advanced calculus courses on the side.
Meet Roger, who thinks in stories, and his twin Dodger, who speaks fluent mathematics. They're not quite human, not quite gods, but definitely quite a lot of trouble when you put them together - which, spoiler alert, someone inevitably does. The real magic trick here is how McGuire makes you care deeply about characters who exist in a realm where the laws of physics apparently went to college and got degrees in "creative interpretation."
Reed, their creator-alchemist-daddy-not-daddy figure, has ambitions that would make Machiavelli blush. He's essentially running a cosmic-level parenting experiment with divine ascension as the prize. What could possibly go wrong with that plan? (Don't answer that - the book already does, and the results are spectacularly chaotic.)
McGuire's prose dances between laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely moving without missing a beat. The audiobook format really shines here, especially during the scenes where Dodger starts speaking in mathematical equations - somehow, it actually works as performance art. The narrator deserves a medal for making calculus sound like Shakespearean iambic pentameter.
This standalone fantasy manages to be both mind-bendingly complex and surprisingly accessible. It's like if Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett had a love child who grew up reading too many alchemy textbooks and watching way too much Netflix. The result is pure literary crack - you'll find yourself nodding along as characters discuss the mathematical principles behind fairy tale logic, which is somehow more reasonable than it sounds.
"Godhood is attainable. Pray it isn't attained," warns the blurb. Frankly, after reading this, I'm pretty sure someone should be praying we don't accidentally achieve it through excessive book reading instead.
