Magic Rises is the sixth book in the popular urban fantasy series Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews, a husband-and-wife writing team. The book was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Paranormal Fantasy in 20131. In this instalment, Kate Daniels and her mate, Curran, the Beast Lord of Atlanta, travel to Europe to obtain a rare medicine that can save the lives of many shapeshifter children in their pack. However, they soon realize that they have been lured into a trap by Kate’s father’s right-hand man, Hugh d’Ambray, who wants to recruit Kate to his side. Along the way, they face pirates, winged shapeshifters, and deadly politics among the European packs.
The book is a fast-paced and action-packed adventure that showcases Kate’s skills as a fighter and a leader, as well as her growing relationship with Curran. Fans of the series will enjoy the witty banter, the emotional stakes, and the new revelations about Kate’s past and destiny. The book also introduces some new characters and settings that add to the richness and diversity of the world-building.
However, the book is not without its flaws. Some reviewers have pointed out that the plot relies too much on coincidences and convenient information, and that the book does not offer any major surprises or twists. The book also assumes that the reader is familiar with the previous books in the series, and does not provide much background or explanation for newcomers. Therefore, it is recommended that readers start from the beginning of the series to fully appreciate the story and the characters.
Magic Rises is a satisfying and entertaining addition to the Kate Daniels series, and a must-read for fans of urban fantasy, shapeshifters, and magic. The book sets the stage for an inevitable confrontation between Kate and her father, and leaves the reader eager for more.
