Synopsis

"Amber Benson's compelling narration brings to life a world in which numbers and words are more than they seem, alchemy is real, and time is not a constant..Fans of Benson and McGuire will enjoy the clever storytelling and will find Roger's and Dodger's voices in their heads long after the audiobook ends." —AudioFile on Middlegame

Every night, a Moon shines down on the Impossible City…

New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire takes us back to the world of the award-winning Alchemical Journeys series in this action-packed follow-up to Middlegame and Seasonal Fears.

All across the world, people look up at the moon and dream of gods. Gods of knowledge and wisdom, gods of tides and longevity. Over time, some of these moon gods incarnated into the human world alongside the other manifest natural concepts. Their job is to cross the sky above the Impossible City—the heart of all creation—to keep it connected to reality.

And someone is killing them.

There are so many of them that it's easy for a few disappearances to slip through the cracks. But they aren't limitless.

In the name of the moon, the lunar divinities must uncover the roots of the plot and thwart the true goal of those behind these attacks—control of the Impossible City itself.

Goodreads review by Brok3n on April 02, 2024

Moon gods, metaphysics, and sneers Tidal Creatures is the third novel in Seanan McGuire's Alchemical Journeys series, or the seventh if you include the Up and Under books.

Goodreads review by Trish on July 09, 2024

This is the conclusion of the Alchemical Journey. So it was weird to be surrounded by total strangers right at the beginning and up until about 50% of the book. However, that kind of disorientation also provided with nice looks into the alchemists' organization. We meet different incarnations of a lu......more

Goodreads review by Josh on June 04, 2024

Check out my video review: TLDR: a noticeable improvement over Seasonal Fears, but there are still places where things get clunky. I think fans of Middlegame will nevertheless leave this mostly satisfied. It had been four years since I last read Middlegame when I decided to reread it for this review.......more

Goodreads review by L (Nineteen Adze) on November 13, 2024

After letting my impressions settle, my generous ceiling on this book is 3 stars. There are some good scenes, but the story arc feels muddled. Seanan McGuire has posted about burnout and health problems, so I’m left in a similar position as I was after learning that John Scalzi had covid during the......more
