The star rating given reflects my opinion within ‘the official goodreads rating system’.1 star: Didn’t Like it2 stars: It’s Okay3 stars: Liked it4 stars: Really Liked it5 stars: It Was AmazingI don’t really give a rat-fuck that there are some who think I ‘owe’ an explanation for my opinion. Nope, nada, and not sorry about it.Sometimes I may add notes to explain what my opinions are based on, and sometimes I don’t. I do this for me, on my books, in my library and I don’t ‘owe’ any special snowflakes a thing. Fuck off if you don’t like it and stop reading my shit.Particularly given the ‘modifications’ to reader’s personal content going on (and outright censorship), unless particularly motivated I will not comment in detail. It would help if GR was forthcoming in the new ‘appropriate’ and would make a site-wide announcement delineating the new focus from a reader-centric site to one that is now for authors and selling. How does Saiman get into so much trouble, turn into an ice giant and not be able to defend himself? LOL. After reading Magic Rises, I did get a little curious as to how Kate saved his ass again, enough for him to owe her a favor which turned out to be very useful in the end.Saiman has been kidnapped and Kate takes Derek and Grendel with her to get him back. The former members of the Red Guard were formidable opponents but hey, it's Kate Daniels, you don't mess with her if you want to live. The Mole Hole also brought back memories of her fight with Erra which for me, was one of the most emotional books in the series. Not just because Curran was hurt but Kate realized that she had a lot to lose. :(
Do You like book An Ill-Advised Rescue Part 1 (2013)?
Another great little extra added bonus. Definitely worth a read either before or after Magic Rises.

Great short story with Kate, Derek and Saiman, or at least half of it.
