2/5 Stars (%45/100)
The concept is good: Twins created by alchemy who have reality-bending powers related to language and maths. However, the execution falls short in my opinion. The world feels dull and empty. It's mostly plot-driven in my opinion, and that's why I didn't really care about any of the characters maybe Reed at some point. Eventually, finishing it became a chore because it was too long and overly complicated (jumping from time to time, place to place). I love unique sci-fi but this was closer to fantasy because the science element is mostly missing. This was my first book by the author and I'm fairly disappointed because she is an award-winning author and this book apparently won some too. I don't know how some people "worship" the book and the author or that this book is THE best book they've ever read. In short, you could give it a go, but don't expect too much.
