rebeccazh 's review for:
Gunmetal Magic
by Ilona Andrews
In my first read through of this book, I thought this was like Kate and Curran except retold in another variation. I used to think all of IA's heroines -- Kate, Nevada, Dina -- were the same, only shades of each other.
Well. How wrong I am. I am reading this and I marvel at how different Andrea and Kate are. Having tried writing some stuff before and being an avid reader, I think one of the hardest things ever is to convey different, distinguishable main characters. Andrea is so different from Kate. So different. I can't believe I ever thought they were the same. Her fights with Raphael are downright vicious and some of the things that were said made me wince on both their behalf. Great book. I love IA's work.
