If there is one emotion I associate with this book, it’s confusion, because good lord was I confused. Reed seeks to use these abilities to access a place known as The Impossible City, and in doing so to gain unimaginable power. Little do they know that they are the carefully crafted experiments of an alchemist named James Reed, designed to embody the two halves of the Doctrine of Ethos, language and mathematics, which is believed to be the key to commanding all things. However, having grown up at opposite ends of the country, the two only meet when they realise that they have a psychic connection with one another. While Roger has always had an aptitude for words and languages, his sister views the world in numbers and equations. And yet, somehow, this ended up being exactly the case. It seemed like there was almost no way I wouldn’t enjoy it. Plus, early reactions were flowing with five star ratings. Super-human intellectual twins and alchemists seeking to use them to become gods – it all sounded right up my alley. When I first read the synopsis for Middlegame, my immediate thought was: Give it to me.
