Small Magics by Ilona Andrews

5.0

I have read the stories Magic Tests and A Questionable Client for the second time, because they were in other books. The former is about Julie's first solo investigation when she has to find a missing student at Kate's request. Even in this short story, you can sense that Julie is going to be a real badass heroine in the future. The latter story is about Kate and Saiman's first meeting, which is exciting, amusing and shocking at the same time. I loved this story because it helped me to better understand the strange relationship between the two.

The main characters in Retribution Clause are Saiman's cousin Adam and his partner Siroun. Of Swine And Roses is a slightly absurd YA story about a girl, a pig and a terrible date. The Grace Of Small Magics is a magically infused forbidden love story that turns into a clan war. These short stories are less connected to the original series, but they show how diverse this urban fantasy world is.
