I finished Magic Burns this morning. Yes, I did like the book; I gave it 4 stars. But up until last night, I didn't understand why everyone was raving about this book. Then I got to the good parts.

Magic Burns started off slowly for me. It's been about 2 months since I read Magic Bites, so it took me a while to settle into the book. At times, I felt lost and I needed to reread sections. But as I got used to Ilona Andrew's dark version of Atlanta, a city destroyed by waves of magic, I began to see ...more

Its been a couple years since I read the first book, but I caught right up. Kate is a very interesting character and I want to know more about her background. She reminded me of Ripley from Aliens a lot in this book as she takes a girl looking for her mother under her wing. This was a very fast-paced book and it won't be so long before I read the next in the series. Be warned there is still a lot of information/world building/lore that happens in this book.

Re-read - I'm enjoying Kate and Curren' ...more
