Magic slays combines truly talented world-building, an impressive array of mythological knowledge, character growth and development, and movement forward in the plot arc of the series. Oh. And it has a bunny that’s a cat in it too.<br />This book was a fun read. It took up pretty much where Magic Bleeds left off and addresses the changes that Kate has to deal with after the fallout of killing her aunt and becoming Curran’s official mate. Fielding those curveballs along with some baggage from her past we also deal with a threat to all things magic, and Julie being in danger to an extreme made for a fast pace in this book. It is not a volume I would suggest to start with, as at this point in the series it really is necessary to have the back-story from books one through four.Canadahttp://appreciatelifevenmore.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-53687444321946831632011-08-11T18:31:02.103-04:002011-08-11T18:31:02.103-04:00After some pondering, I think it's for the bes...After some pondering, I think it's for the best that there's no Kate Daniels novel next year. We're certainly getting quite a bit of content, so very much looking forward to it. That novella you mention Mihir looks like it could be a winner.Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262625208142078301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-46673019094454320252011-08-05T07:33:32.746-04:002011-08-05T07:33:32.746-04:00I was kinda expecting this as they had mentioned s...I was kinda expecting this as they had mentioned something similar to this in one of their previous posts. <br /><br /> I'm cool with it, I liked Andrea's storyline as well and now with her triangle with the 2 Rs, it will be fun to see where the authors go with it. I'm just a bit curious to see how the Kate & Curran Novella will come into play?The Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060590167867977158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-4775684103178045052011-08-04T23:18:25.474-04:002011-08-04T23:18:25.474-04:00Oh, right, now I remember.

When he was cleaned up at the Keep, he was more than presentable.<br /><br />Roman is a new character introduced in Magic Slays. He was the volhv Kate stomped on and then brought back to her office after her meeting with Evodokia, the witch. I believe he was Evodokia's son. Roman had the staff that could bite when magic was up. He keyed in on Andrea at first sight. Per Gordon, they have not decided yet if Andrea will choose Raphael or Roman. I'm hoping for Raphael. The triangle has been launched!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-77606330478864343022011-08-04T22:34:50.182-04:002011-08-04T22:34:50.182-04:00Hmm, Nick the Crusader, was he the Crusader that l...Hmm, Nick the Crusader, was he the Crusader that looked like a bum?<br /><br />Anyways, Jack Bauer is in my avatar, and it would be sacrilegious to consider your idea, but I'll forgive you.<br /><br />Kidding aside, who's Roman? Did he appear in any of the short stories? I'm a bit behind on my short stories reading, and if he appeared in any of the novels I'm drawing blank at the moment.Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262625208142078301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748211313953490132.post-74454354780165635202011-08-04T22:20:59.094-04:002011-08-04T22:20:59.094-04:00After the initial shock, I am OK with the new rele...After the initial shock, I am OK with the new release schedule. I am very curious about the Andrea/Raphael/Roman triangle. Also, I agree with the 'very awesome' label.<br /><br />Oh, has anyone ever mentioned your avatar photo could be a model for Nick, the Crusader? He was introduced in Magic Bites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
