About the book

A HUGO AWARD FINALIST!

WINNER OF THE LOCUS AWARD FOR BEST FANTASY NOVEL, 2020!

A Pick on the 2020 RUSA Reading List!

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 the standalone fantasy, Middlegame.

Meet Roger. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story.

Meet Dodger, his twin. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. All she understands, she does so through the power of math.

Roger and Dodger aren't exactly human, though they don't realise it. They aren't exactly gods, either. Not entirely. Not yet.

Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Reed created Dodger and her brother. He's not their father. Not quite. But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own.

Godhood is attainable. Pray it isn't attained.


A USA Today Bestseller, and named as one of Paste Magazine's 30 Best Fantasy Novels of the Decade!

    Das war ein seltsames Buch, und ich bin mir nicht sicher ob ich alles verstanden habe. Aber trotzdem wollte ich immer weiterlesen... Die Zwillinge und ihre Freundschaft und Verbindung zueinander waren so toll. Definitiv für mich das Beste an der Geschichte.

    This was one of the fastest DNFs for me ever and i can only echo the complaints others have already posted: what was the point of having the book start with a villain from the 'i'm smarter than the world and if you all just knew how much smarter than you i was .... '? Very unlikeable and the rest of the world didn't compensate enough for me to read further.
