Magic Rises by Ilona AndrewsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Just when I thought this series could not possibly get any better, Ilona Andrews hits us with this wonderful new adventure in Europe. I didn't think travel between the continents were possible so this new angle was an interesting surprise - who knew Saiman could sing so well! The introduction of yet another pantheon was truly delightful to read. It is obvious that the couple do extensive research but the way they have managed to weave all that into the plot is truly admirable and a talent that is not easily matched.
The pettiness and drama of the European shapeshifters truly leave much to be desired and I'm so glad that the Beast Lord runs a tight yet loyal Pack in Atlanta. Curran's behaviour was rather deplorable while among the Europeans but I'm glad he redeemed himself in the end. He still needs a lot of adapting to be in a truly enriching relationship. And who better to be with him than Kate!
Lastly, the single casualty at the end left me so devastated since I was just warming up to the character and of all the participants in the trip, this character should have been THE one to survive and enjoy the fruits of their labour. So, so sad...
