Review:
Magic Binds by Ilona Andrews is the 9th book in her fantastic Kate Daniels series. The mark of a great series is when you read each book, you can’t put it down; but when you see the story moving too fast, you force yourself to slow down, so that you can savior it a little bit longer. Kate Daniels is one of these series. Magic Binds is once again a fabulous story written so wonderfully by the Ilona Andrews duo ( Ilona & Gordon Andrews). Magic Binds was fantastic; maybe even the best one yet.
In Magic Binds, Kate is preparing for her wedding to Curran, or shall we say, her friends are. In the last few books, we have learned more about Roland, Kate’s ultra powerful father, who wants to rule the world. As they try to talk civilly to each other and profess their love, we also know that this will end in death for one of them. Things are escalated when the Oracle warns Kate that her vision shows that if she marries Curran, he will die, which will also include the vision of her son’s (she has no son, this is a future prognosis) death by Roland. Time is of essence, as war is on the horizon, much sooner than expected.
Kate will use everything in her power to find a way to stop Roland, which is just about impossible. She will face a god; she will go as far as bringing someone she killed to help her; prove that she is just as powerful as her father to gain the support of the pack, vampires and the guild. Many of our favorites will play a big part in this story; Julie, Derek, Jim, Ghastek, Saiman, Jim, Roman, Dalia, Christopher, just to name a few.
To tell too much more would be spoilers. This was a pulse pounding intense exciting story line that was non-stop action all the way. Kate rises up to everything we knew she could do, and then some. The last half of the book was so great; you could not put the book down, even if I wanted it to last longer and keep savoring it. Kate Daniels proves over and over that she is one of the best kick-ass heroines in the literary world. I love her and Curran together, as a couple they too are one of the best. Magic Binds was a sensational read, and Andrews has outdone themselves. Bravo! I do not how much longer this series will go, but I am praying we have many books left. If you have not read this series, this is another gem you should not be missing.
