Blocked introduces the youngest of the Price siblings, Antimony. She's not yet had her own book, which made it somewhat more difficult to relate to her in such a short story.
She was mostly a teenager and the cryptids didn't feel like the most important part of the story. I am curious to see how her story develops though.

"I was more Wednesday Addams than Marcia Brady, more sarcastic than sunny, and more cynical than cheer-tastic."
Antimony Price has a problem. She's part of the Healy/Price clan that defected from the Covenant generations before she was ever born. She's also pretty awesome at just about everything she tries. That means, to stay hidden, she usually has to give up anything she likes to do. Maybe it's time for that to change.

I think Antimony might be my favorite, which is saying something. Also, I never thought I'd like a cheerleader, but she makes it sound so fierce.

A solid short story about Verity's younger sister Antimony. I think I'll like her.

The short stories within Seanan McGuire's InCryptid series are plentiful, for which I am grateful. Blocked is my most recent read and the first short story to give Antimony Price the lead. This is set following the second novel in the series – so before Antimony even got her own novel.
Antimony Price is the youngest Price child. She's stubborn, graceful, and in need of a contact sport that will keep her fit. Ideally, one that will be overlooked by the Covenant, who is always on the hunt for her family.
Thus, Roller Derby, it is. If you're looking for a short that is full of cryptids, roller derby chaos, and some Antimony Price drama; then I have good news for you! This is a fun and quick short and a pretty solid introduction for her character.

Great to have Antimony's POV, really enjoyed that, and yeah, great story of her starting her transition from high school student to adult!

I think I like Antimony. Haven't had much of a chance to get to know her, but so far she seems like a neat character.
