Book: 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.

They aren’t exactly gods, either. Not entirely. Not yet. Godhood is attainable. Pray it isn’t attained.

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell posts

Is there interest in having two sets of posts for this series, one for readers and one for non-readers? It would be similar with what's going on for Game of Thrones and Outlander, but for only a short while.
