[Book Review] Imaginary Numbers

Imaginary Numbers (InCryptid #9) / Seanan McGuire

Previously reviewed
So... it's been a long time since we've spent time with Sarah.  Several years since Chaos Choreography, in fact.  Finally healed enough to risk venturing out into the world again, she's going home.  To the Price family, and to Artie.  It would be a perfect homecoming, being accepted into the family in ways she never has been before... except for one thing.

There are other cuckoos in the area.  Not just one, a worrisome concern on its own in normal circumstances, but several of the notoriously solitary predators.  Telepathic predators that are effectively clones of each other at that.  Who want Sarah for their own plans.

Things devolve further as Sarah, and the Prices, learn more and more about what's going on, and try to figure out the truth.  But none of it bodes well for the Prices, our world... or even our reality.


In Imaginary Numbers, McGuire brings the gang all together.  The Price kids have all had their books and story arcs, growing and gaining allies all along.  They've had their squabbles and their reconciliations.  Now they're cryptologist Avengers  (or Justice League if you favor DC), assembling against an alien threat.

Level One for these characters is complete, and the book take the Price kids and the readers to a whole new reality.  The Covenant is a thing of the past, and the next book, Calculated Risks is definitely going to require them working together in ways they never have before.
