Heckfire!!! What did I just read? I never saw any of this coming, not even a little bit. And yet? It made complete sense too. This is book 9 in the Kate Daniels series, and be ready for it, because I am going to gush and spoilers for earlier in the series may occur and if you haven't read the series it is going to be pure gibberish (it's book 9, what do you expect?). Kate Daniels rocks out with her socks out...or on as the case may be...in a tutu.

We've seen Kate grow from a low-lying no-name merc, to a POWER. She's made friends and enemies. Just, aargh, I don't even know how to express all the things that make me love this series. But I love it so. The night I was reading it someone asked me what I was reading and I TRIED to explain it. But trying to express into words what makes me so enthralled with this series proved pretty much impossible and devolved into something that probably resembled the kind of embarrassing spectacle that was once associated with Bieber fans. My love for this series is vast, I walk in this world in my head and it is a mythology that makes sense to me.

So this book in particular? Leading up to it we have seen how the structure of the people in Kate's life have shifted, it was moving toward something. But that structure is pretty effing clear now. War is coming and alliances are and will be tested.

Christopher, the broken man, the apparent deus ex machina that I thought was there to show who Kate really was, to set her apart from her father, yeah, he turned out to be pretty ever-loving important. He hurts my heart, but I think he's going to get better now. And I can't wait to see how his story shakes out.

Roman the Dark Vohlv is freaking adorable. Just the cutest little Dark Vohlv ever, and as the representative that your job doesn't have to define you, he's pretty perfect and I want a HEA there quite badly.

Jim, the new Beast Lord, yeah he done screwed up. Fortunately Dali is a magnificent Beast Lady who is perfectly willing to call him on whatever he needs calling on. She is just as good of a Beast Lady as I knew she would be. I expect Jim will have some consequences, as he well deserves. But I expect we'll see that shake out in the next book.

And of course Ghastek , Master of the Dead, came through, I've always liked him. I'd like to see his story play out too. We don't necessarily need a whole book, but a little more wouldn't go amiss.

We also got quite a bit of back story on everyone. Roland, Era, Hugh. Lots of emotions to be wrong there.

And the rest of the gang; Andrea, Raphael, Desandra, Derek, Ascanio, Samhain, everyone made an appearance and played their parts.

And I guess that pretty much shows if not explains why I love this series. These characters are as real to me as anyone else. The world is built and layered so I believe it too, so the characters they've created can walk there and I can believe in them and feel like I know them too.

As for the events, this is very much a learning book, more so than an action book. But is still felt really exciting. So yeah, we tromp through Kate's past and her future, and Kate learns a heck of a lot, but it still felt like there was a lot going on and that there were some real stakes. And there was a wedding. I don't know, it came down fairly easy and then hooked for the next (last?) book. Good stuff, all the stars, 10/10 would read again, recommend this series to everyone and all that jazz.

Magic Binds Kate Daniels Ilona Andrews Books Reviews

This is much better than the previous book. One of the best of the series, in fact. Kate has not only gotten stronger in her magic, it's to the point where she is worried it's too strong and will become addictive. But she is going to need every bit of it to defend Atlanta from her father. It has finally been decided that we are to see how bad a person he really is, which fits because we are going to see a character that was evil rehabilitated.
One thing I really liked is that most of the regular side characters have an active role. It will be like a Pack reunion, but with some intrigue tossed in. Ghastek and Rowena play a part, as does Saiman, who’s kidnapping is the catalyst for the action in the book. Teddy Jo gets involved and there is a huge reveal about Christopher. If you have been reading the blog, you already know that Roman has been asked to be the minister at the wedding. Since Kate has no time to be involved in the planning, he takes over the whole thing, which leads to some pretty funny stuff.
If you have been shipping Julie and Derek, you won’t be discouraged by anything in this book. They appear together a lot. If you have not read Magic Stars, which features them, be sure to read it first! As Kate finds out, Julie has grown up a lot.
As usual, the heart of the book is the relationship between Kate and Curran. There is the usual snarky banter as well as the romantic moments. There is the usual one love scene, but IMO the heat has been turned down a bit. Kate has some secrets but there comes a point where Curran finally puts his paw down and gets full disclosure. The way they work together in the big battle is just terrific, showing how strong they are together.
This series is as good as it gets. Too bad it's coming to a close.
Magic Binds, the ninth (and apparently second-to-last) installment of Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series is quite possibly this author’s best work to date. At this point, it’s very difficult to separate, compare or evaluate each individual book, but Magic Binds challenges our beloved characters in all new ways and adds a lot to the already spectacular characterization. The sheer quality of these books sets them apart from anything even remotely similar.

Kate is pushed to her limits in Magic Binds, not just by her father, but by her magic as well. More than any other book in the series, this one centers on characterization and shades of gray within Kate’s family. With her father so close, a constant threat on the borders of Atlanta, Kate’s power is developing rapidly. Each day she discovers some new ability and it’s affecting her in ways none of us could have predicted. As Curran at one point says, Kate is the least power-hungry person he knows, but power corrupts even if you never wanted it in the first place.

For those of you who were wondering about Christopher and his origins, answers are finally here! We get to learn his history, how his mind came to be broken and why he attached himself to Kate and her people. Aside from discovering his past, we finally scratch the surface of his relationship with Barabas, which seems to be very complex. This was something I’ve been wondering about for quite a while and although there’s still some room for speculation, we now have a much clearer picture.

As the end approaches, the pressure on Kate is growing, the need to fight her own blood inside and out is becoming ever stronger. Everything she does reveals more truths about her father and the more she knows, the more she’s determined to stop him. Kate’s family is always behind her, even though there are friends who aren’t. It’s gorgeous to see how much understanding there is between her and Curran and how they support each other even through bold and risky moves.

With just one more book left, every word in Magic Binds is extremely important. Each event leads to something bigger and more dangerous. Due to their trademark sense of humor, fantastic plotting and unparalleled action scenes, Ilona and Gordon will leave behind a horde of disappointed fans when they bring this series to a close.
