The book was on par with the others of the series. A quick, relatively light-hearted, urban fantasy. It probably would help to be familiar with the world depicted in the series before picking up this volume though. All in all I would recommend it.

Magic for Nothing
Seanan McGuire continues her InCryptid series with Magic for Nothing. In this tale we switch our attention to the youngest of the Price children, Antimony. The previous novel in the series had ended with Verity essentially declaring war on the Covenant of St. George so this novel picks up with Antimony having to pay the price of that action. We follow her as she infiltrates the Covenant and is then sent on a mission to scope out a travelling carnival that is associated with a number of mysterious deaths. Can she solve the mystery while keeping the Covenant in the dark as to who she really is and protecting the innocent carnival workers? Find out.
