Overall, I would say this one is probably my least favorite of the InCryptid series so far but is still an entertaining ride. Sometimes when an author does novels from different perspectives, it’s hard not to treat the first narrator as a favorite, even if the other characters are also interesting (definitely had that issue with Women of the Otherworld and Elena, though Eve and Jaime Vegas both gave her a good run for her money – unfortunately Jamie only got the one perspective novel).

Sadly, Thor Does Not Make An Appearance
I’m not sure who is deciding on the titles for these novels, but I was incredibly disappointed that this one didn’t involve creatures from Norse mythology given the use of the word Ragnarok! I know there are some giant snakes in Norse mythology but the ones in this book all seem to be of Greek origin. In this novel, McGuire shifts focus from Verity Price to her older brother Alex, who is running a hidden basilisk breeding program at a zoo in Columbus, Ohio. Up […]
Things Are About to Get Serious
The second book of the InCryptid series takes place about six months after Discount Armageddon, and this review will include spoilers for the previous novel. Verity and Dominic are in an undefined relationship but she is still a Price and he is still Covenant so neither wants to discuss what is going on. While Dominic has kept her identity secret and neglected to tell the Covenant about the male dragon under Manhattan, he has still been a member of monster hunting society since birth. He […]
Fantastical creatures, secret societies, and Greek mythology references – yes, please!
I basically blew through all seven novels of this series in four days. Fortunately, it is recent enough that I am still able to keep the plot lines very distinct but extra details about the family history and the family tree are added as the series progresses so I can’t get too far into some of the background because I can’t quite remember at what point certain concepts are introduced. Verity Price is the middle daughter of the latest generation of the Price family. The […]
How come no one told me about the Wayward Children series ages ago?!
I read all three of the Wayward Children series books in a week. It would have been more like four days, but I was on a trip for three of those days and didn’t have a lot of time for reading. The last book, Beneath the Sugar Sky, I started at 1pm today and finished at 7pm, and I was working for part of that time. So yeah, I loved these books. This isn’t a linear series, but instead three interconnected, stand-alone novellas, though I […]
In Candyland the Baker is God
I wasn’t too fond of Seanan McGuire’s Down Among the Sticks and Stones, so when I got the notification that Beneath the Sugar Sky had been released and was on my kindle I wasn’t quite as excited as I normally am for one of her books. I mean, obviously I still preordered it, but I wasn’t happy about it. However, I have some downtime right now and I wasn’t feeling any of the other four books I’m currently reading so I picked it up. It […]
