I actually really liked this one a lot. It was slower but felt complex and I liked the magical community being forced to collaborate. An enjoyable read.

This is one of my faves in this series for many reasons, but especially for the scene where Kate and Raphael stage a 'coolness' intervention for Julie at her school. And then there's the bit about Raphael getting bodice rippers for Andrea.
Sweet!

Another entertaining and action packed read! Magic Slays doesn’t move the overall plot that has been coming together since the beginning much, but we do get a little more insight into Kate’s family tree (surprise about her mom!) and see her flex her magic more. Of course I loved seeing Curran and Kate being a couple and butting heads over how their relationship is going to work. Curran has an absolutely swoony declaration towards the end that pretty made the entire book for me. *sigh* The Julie plot line resolved kind of anticlimactically after all that emotional upheaval, but I’m definitely happy for her (compared to poor Daniel). Loving this series on graphic audio, but be prepared for quite a bit of crunching and splattering sound effects because of all the fighting. On to book 6!
