Seanan McGuire's Installment Immortality
Now that I’m all caught up on McGuire's main three fantasy series, I’m trying to stay that way—this is the latest volume of her Incryptid series. There is a handy recap at the beginning, which is great, because there are a lot of characters who are all related and it hard to remember who’s who. Anyway, the protagonist here is their ghost babysitter, on a mission to stop the usual bad guys from trapping and torturing ghosts. It’s fine. Sometimes the dialogue is too exposition-heavy (like I don’t need to know all these details about ghosts, ok), but I do enjoy the characters and am invested in what’s going on with Arthur especially. There’s a novella at the end featuring pregnant Verity dealing with a houseguest and a blob monster that I enjoyed a lot. B+?
