A fun short story. I understand why this ended up being cut from Magic Rises, but I really loved seeing Kate and Derek working together. Definitely the dream team.

Most deleted scenes are deleted for good reason, and An Ill-Advised Rescue displays quite a few reasons in its twenty pages. It offers no character moments to speak off, although Kate's tendency to speak in the third person is still annoyingly here. She always acts like her antics will make front-page news. The whole story is a convoluted exercise to make Saiman indebted to Kate, when I think most readers would be more than satisfied with a paragraph surmising these events anyway.
I don't want to be overly punitive about what is essentially bonus material I didn't have to pay for, but its overall quality can't be overlooked because it was free either. An Ill-Advised Rescue reads like it was written: a slice of decent action with zero stakes that acts as perfunctory set-up for a better story down the line.
