Readers, get ready for MAGIC TRIUMPHS, the tenth book in the
Kate
Daniels series by Ilona Andrews! In this latest
installment, Andrews sets a
brutal pace for her characters. As much as things have
changed for Kate,
there are some things that remain the same. Trouble
continues to find her
and although her world may seem calmer with the truce with
her father, there
are still other things to worry about. Kate must now ally
with her enemies to
stop an even greater force.
If you're new to urban fantasy, then I would highly suggest
picking up this
series from the beginning. A lot has happened and new
readers will likely feel
overwhelmed with the events that have happened thus far.
Although Andrews
keeps the writing pretty simple, there are actually a lot of
things that are
going on at the same time. So it makes for a very quick read.
In addition to the pacing, there's also the world building
that continues to
grow with each book. New things are happening, which causes
Kate to step
out of her comfort zone. I find that even with ten books in
the series already,
it still remains fresh and I think that's because Kate feels
like the same girl
she was since the beginning. I really enjoy seeing that
steadiness in a main
character.
So, if you're anticipating MAGIC TRIUMPHS, you can expect
the same
mayhem and mischief from Kate and Curran. With Ilona
Andrews, you're
guaranteed a good read!
Kate has come a long way from her origins as a loner taking care of paranormal problems in post-Shift Atlanta. She's made friends and enemies. She's found love and started a family with Curran Lennart, the former Beast Lord. But her magic is too strong for the power players of the world to let her be. Kate and her father, Roland, currently have an uneasy truce, but when he starts testing her defenses again, she knows that sooner or later, a confrontation is inevitable. The Witch Oracle has begun seeing visions of blood, fire, and human bones. And when a mysterious box is delivered to Kate's doorstep, a threat of war from the ancient enemy who nearly destroyed her family, she knows their time is up. Kate Daniels sees no other choice but to combine forces with the unlikeliest of allies. She knows betrayal is inevitable. She knows she may not survive the coming battle. But she has to try. For her child. For Atlanta. For the world.
