Reviews with content warning for Violence - Magia kąsa

Entertaining, fast read. The worldbuilding is confusing, not enough information is provided about time period or how magic works.

This book does not require "romance" tag frankly speaking.

I was planning to read next book in the series but I read negative reviews of it and realized that Curran is the main romantic interest and since I dislike him, I don't want to invest my time. I liked Nick better, at least he respects Kate unlike lion boy who quite often invalidates her. I read some reviews for the following books in the series and it seems like not only he gets better, on the contrary he became more of a douche. No thank you.

I don't know how I read this book so quickly and still found it boring, but I did. The world-building and the characters were flat and I just couldn't bring myself to care.

Ok this is super fun. The "everyone wants to sleep with Kate" thing is a little gratuitous, but I ended up enjoying this a lot anyways, and I immediately started book 2.

Also I originally forgot to mention this but there is a decent amount of sexual assault discussion/threats in this book because of the nature of what they're fighting, so if that concerns you I would definitely look up the content warnings! I will say after reading all 10 of the books in the main series it's a theme that is only very lightly present throughout the rest of the books, so I wouldn't really warn for it in the series as a whole, just this first book.

I've been looking for an urban fantasy like this one for a long time, and I'm happy I found it! Immediately was hooked upon reading and excited to continue the series. The world-building is a bit difficult to digest at first, but the copy I read had a helpful world and character guide.
