Calculated Risks

fullDescription

The tenth book in the fast-paced InCryptid urban fantasy series returns to the mishaps of the Price family, eccentric cryptozoologists who safeguard the world of magical creatures living in secret among humans.
Just when Sarah Zellaby, adopted Price cousin and telepathic ambush predator, thought that things couldn't get worse, she's had to go and prove herself wrong. After being kidnapped and manipulated by her birth family, she has undergone a transformation called an instar, reaching back to her Apocritic origins to metamorphize. While externally the same, she is internally much more powerful, and much more difficult to control.
Even by herself. After years of denial, the fact that she will always be a cuckoo has become impossible to deny.
Now stranded in another dimension with a handful of allies who seem to have no idea who she is—including her cousin Annie and her maybe-boyfriend Artie, both of whom have forgotten their relationship—and a bunch of cuckoos with good reason to want her dead, Sarah must figure out not only how to contend with her situation, but with the new realities of her future. What is she now? Who is she now? Is that person someone she can live with?
And when all is said and done, will she be able to get the people she loves, whether or not they've forgotten her, safely home?

     McGuire continues the adventures of the extended Healy-Price clan of cryptozoologists in this entertaining 10th InCryptid novel (following Imaginary Numbers), injecting her unique mix of pop culture awareness, sly humor, and creepy weirdness into an urban fantasy framework. After saving the world, Sarah Zellaby—mathematician, telepath, and member of an extradimensional invasive species descended from humanoid wasps—is stranded on a mostly abandoned university campus in a bizarre parallel dimension, along with a small group of friends and family. As if that wasn’t bad enough, everyone’s lost their memories of Sarah, seeing her only as a potential threat; the campus is filled with shambling zombies possessed by a sentient mathematical equation; and the local ecosystem includes giant insects. To return home, Sarah must convince her family to trust her once more, and piece together the math that will open the way between worlds. Maybe she can even win back the heart of Artie, the love of her life, while she’s at it. The change in setting and tone works well, ramping up the science fiction and horror undertones of the premise and making for a satisfying conclusion to Sarah’s arc. While not an ideal starting place, this is a treat for series fans. Agent: Diana Fox, Fox Literary.

     The latest in the InCryptid series more than makes up for the cliff-hanger ending of 2020's Imaginary Numbers: Sarah, having beaten the math that was going to destroy our world, now has to face the consequences. One of those consequences is that a chunk of the university campus has been transported wholesale from Iowa to another dimension. Another is that Sarah's cousins no longer remember her as part of the family. After she convinces them that she's not the monster they assume her to be, they have to deal with the remnants of the cuckoos who were trying to use her to escape our dimension, gather the human survivors, figure out how to get home, and cope with the trauma of having not just Antimony but also Artie looking at her and seeing not a beloved friend but an inhuman enemy. There are, meanwhile, ever more reveals about the Price-Healy family and the Johrlac, alongside a complex and satisfying web of relationships. McGuire balances a deceptively light and entertaining structure with dire stakes and serious background themes especially well in the InCryptid series, and this volume is no exception.
