Nice adaptation of one of my favorite books. Didn't like the voice for Rogan at the start, but he grew on me.

Here's the thing - I come back to this series probably every year. It's my comfort read. I love the world IA have created in this series, which has in part inspired some of my own work: I enjoy the idea of magic and technology coexisting in a vivid, fully-fleshed out modern world.
BUT, having recently reread Kate Daniels series in preparation for the new novellas, I couldn't help but realize that several elements, mythology, and even characters, are the same in this series as in Kate's world. I have loved IA for over a decade and I will still buy their stuff, but I think the rose-tinted glasses have slipped off and broken on concrete.


Minor spoilers:
I think Curran and Rogan are the same character. While one is a shapeshifter, the other a powerful Prime, their personality (and even some dialogue) are virtually identical.


I still adore this series. I will still come back to it when I don't have the mental energy to read anything new. But now that I've noticed all the similarities, I can't help but feel very slightly disappointed.
