Don't mind me, I'm just going to inhale these books like the seaweed snacks from Costco.
Seanan is another author whose books, in this series are fundamentally uninterested in performing questions of justice, rights, identity, and humanity's role as conquerors or stewards of the world. And yet the Incryptid series is basically one long argument for Genesis 2:15 against 1:28. To work and protect rather than fill the world and conquer.
The stories complicate what it means to protect and the work in question, but they aren't ABOUT that. They're about attractive people solving mysteries with cryptids. I'm slowly learning to appreciate that authors who don't yell "Here is the interesting kernel, do you under what I am doing!" can still be asking interesting questions.
These books don't need to be read deeply. It's just fun to stop every so often and ask what they are saying if you do.
