Gunmetal Magic by Ilona Andrews
5.0

This was my first read by Ilona Andrews that didn't feature Kate Daniels as the main character. I wasn't sure what to expect as I had felt somewhat ambivalent towards this main character, Andrea Nash, in her previous appearances in the novels.

I was pleasantly surprised. Andrea is much different than Kate. While she's a strong and flawed character like Kate, she isn't a carbon copy with names and details shifted about. I was reallly impressed with how a change in perspective, in the same world and with the same characters, was done so well. Everything felt a little different reading from Andrea's perspective and it added to how realized this story world is.

The storyline was as good as any other in the series and when I finished the book I found myself hoping that Ilona Andrews would write more of Andrea's story.
