tita_noir 's review for:
Gunmetal Magic
by Ilona Andrews
I had this book the day it came out. But it took me almost a month to want to crack it open. i was curiously reluctant to read it even though I love this author and I love this world. maybe because it wasn't featuring Kate front and center?
At any rate, I needn't have waffled. It was immediately awesome. I like the deep background we get on Andrea and the closer look at some of her issues. Even though in the previous books her allegiance to the Order makes sense, it was nice to get the to the reasons behind her decisions.
I thought Raphael was a bit of a wanker in this one, but I am glad their wrangling didn't drown the whole book. They make up in what I felt was a reasonable amount of time in a reasonable manner. Also, it was clear they were both still very much not over each other. It was right there on surface, so even further happier that things didn't drag out.
This plot of the story mainly plays out like a police procedural/mystery with Andrea tracking down the identity of a person(s) who killed shifter members of Raphael's crew.
The big bad in this one is charming, funny, a lot scary and a lot crazy.
I always forget what a deft hand Andrews has with humor. I found myeslf laughing out loud at quite a few parts.
Great installment to the Kate Daniels world.
