A review by detailsandtales
Singing the Comic-Con Blues by Seanan McGuire

3.0

This story was included as a bonus novella at the end of Calculated Risks, and tells a story that's referred to in passing in the novel but not important to the novel. I enjoyed spending time with the characters in this story. I felt, however, that the story didn't live up to its initial promise. Based on the title of the story and the opening paragraphs, I went into the story thinking it would mostly be about addressing a cryptid problem at a comic-con. Instead, it was mostly about navigating family issues in order to get to the con in the first place, which meant my enjoyment was tempered by the fact that I kept waiting for the "real" story to start.
