I do wish we had seen more of the Impossible City but that’s a small criticism. However the pair always come back together. Dodger and Rodger are separated at birth and both are placed in adoptive families to try and force their powers to ‘manifest’ properly. The book happens pretty much in our world, taking place primarily between California (Dodger) and Massachusetts (Rodger). The audio is fantastic and Amber Benson (Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer FYI) is a perfect choice to narrate the story. This book has time lines and these time lines can be reset to readjust things that have gone wrong.
Not in terms of subject matter (though I do have warnings for certain content) but it’s a book that requires active concentration. This book is written beautifully, but it is not an easy read. Soon they will want that power for themselves. Reed has created Rodger and Dodger to manifest an ancient doctorine that will give them power over all of reality. Then we have James Reed, alchemist and creator of the twins and created by an alchemist himself. This book is no different and really blew me away. From her ever wonderful Wayward Children series to her other works like ‘Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day’ I’ve really fallen in love with her characters and storytelling. Seanan McGuire has become a favourite author of mine in the last year. ** Content warnings for self harm, suicide, torture and violence.** Someone made us, and then they separated us because we were dangerous when we were together.’
