This is the seventh book in the InCryptid series a was a wonderful continuation of the InCryptid series. This book continues to follow Antimony Price and her adventures.
While Antimony isn't my favorite character follow in this series, I did think this was the best book about her yet and I really, really enjoyed it. We finally get to see more of Antimony's magic and watch as she struggles to learn to control it.
I loved the new characters introduced; Annie's roommates are a slyph and a gorgon and both were highly entertaining. I loved the mystery, the plot, and the deep dive into amusement park life. I also really enjoyed all the luck magic that comes into play.
This book ties in with Sparrow Hill Road some; Rose is in the story a bit and there is a lot of discussion about the Crossroads and those that make deals at them. I assume some of this will tie into the second book of The Ghost Roads series, The Girl in the Green Silk Gown, which is supposed to release in July 2018. I loved learning more about the Crossroads as well.
McGuire always does an excellent job of balancing world-building, engaging characters, action, and mystery. She is amazingly talented and writes stories that are smart, entertaining, and highly creative. She continues to be one of my favorite authors.
Overall this was an amazing continuation of the InCryptid series. I still love the October Daye series more than this one, but the InCryptids series is nearly as good. I will definitely be picking up the next Ghost Roads books and continue to look forward to new books in both the October Daye and the InCryptid series.
