The above quote is pretty indicative of Middlegame’s overall tone: it’s desperate, matter-of-fact, urgent, terribly serious but also quite silly.
While I enjoyed my reading experience, it largely confirmed that giant tomes just aren’t my thing.
Reading this book took me much longer than I would have liked (& there was a bit too much “timey-wimey stuff”). But it was interesting to see what McGuire can do when she gives herself length & breadth, especially given that I normally read her (absolutely killer) novellas.
