Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews

Magic Rises (Kate Daniels, #6)Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


It's Friday, book done,
and now it's time for more stunt
reviewing, bitches!

There is always a
breaking point for me reading
urban fantasy.

Series seem to have
an event horizon of
what the fuckery.

There's a surfeit of
boyfriends, or bad porn, or wangst,
or plain old stupid.

I have to bite in
just right to swallow it all
or I gag on it.

But sometimes the first
hit lasts. The magic lingers.
I end up . . . caring.

Book six. In or out?
Short lifetime, so many books –
Wait, shit. Oops. I care.

Though her boyfriend is
still a fucking werelion,
And the porn . . . *shakes head*.

But this world is rich
and strange and bloody, and this
magic does linger.

And okay, fine, yes,
I'm even invested in
the fucking arc plot.

Even though it's all
daddy issues and needless
familial shit.

So yeah. I care now.
I admit it, it happened.
I even have feels.

…Though I do wish she
would drop the bag of clichés
known as werelion

and instead bang her
dad's evil henchman like a
screen door. Is that bad?
