In this episode, Grace and Sal go to the Market Arcanum together to trade chess pieces for a magical book.
I love the fact that, in this season, we’re getting to know Menchú better. Even though he clearly wasn’t the protagonist in this episode, we got to see bits of his day from him POV.
I think that, in these first episodes, the authors mixed the past (the tragedy in Guatemala that Menchú was part of) and the present (Asanti being forbidden from all field-work, Grace being part of Team One and Menchú being haunted by the presence of Hannah) wonderfully.
I love this series and recommend it to anyone that likes Urban Fantasy.

Another great chapter - thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for making this available in return for an honest review.

The Market Arcanum is back, albeit slightly less chaotic this year. Though the potential is certainly there when what should have been a simple trade goes awry.

Back in Rome, Father Menchu is slowly piecing together the puzzle pieces; we're definitely building towards something, but we're still too close up to see the picture they make.
