We then jump forward 100 years to where Reed is on the verge of completing Baker’s work and aims to split the Doctrine of Ethos and personify it in a set of twins with to goal of ascending to godhood. Deborah Baker is finishing up a creation, an Frankenstein’s monster analog made up of various donors, tasked with the goal of completing Baker’s work.
The book starts at the end of the timeline, where Roger and Dodger have presumably lost something due to Dodger being covered in blood. The book is told in a non-linear structure that allows for some really cool storytelling devices. “You can’t skip to the end of the story just because you’re tired of being in the middle. Part of this is because there are a couple of different plot lines that intersect. The main thing that put me off this book was the fact that no one seemed able to describe the plot and a lot of people said this book was confusing.Īfter reading it, I definitely agree that it’s hard to describe this book, but that’s mostly because you need to spoil like half the book to accurately discuss what’s going on. This is a book I’ve been putting off for far too long and ah I finally read this one. TW/CW: very descriptive gore,murder/death, drug use (smoking depicted, other drug use mentioned), cutting, attempted suicide, natural disasters (earthquakes), and loss of loved ones.
But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own. Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realise it. All she understands, she does so through the power of math. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him.
