#Msecure 5.5 review trial#

So pragmatic, our Kate.ДЄfter dumping the head and the fire lizard at the Guild, Kate moseys over to the Order, where Derek asks for her help on behalf of the Pack.ДЄ group of surveyors was ambushed, you see, by a man who stole their maps and literally disappeared. She's only one person, and hardly capable of carrying BOTH the dead (shot in the back with an arrow by person(s) unknown) perp and the salamander contained by magical glass, and they only get paid if they have proof they took care of the problem. About the time they've got everything wrapped-up, Jim gets a mysterious text, and ditches Kate, b/c 'Pack business.' Kate is understandably annoyed. MAGIC BURNS begins with Kate getting an early morning wakeup call from Jim, who needs backup on a Mercenary Guild gig. The Casino, the headquarters of The People, shuts down entirely, going into lockdown. More strange things happen, more creatures show up, already existing magical people and creatures have a harder time maintaining control over their magical aspects.<-it's a MESS. SO a magic Flare has happened every 7(ish) years since tech fell, and during a Flare, not only are the magic/tech shifts more frequent, but the magic is more POTENT. SIDENOTE: that's 'Flare' as in flare-up, not 'flair' as in you need at least 15 pieces on your uniform.

Yeah.ДЄfter the trial by fire world-building of MAGIC BITES, any leftover questions are quickly answered in KATE DANIELS #2 by virtue of the shifts from magic to tech and tech to magic occurring with alarming frequency as a result of one of this book's Big Problems, the magical Flare. Then I want for Julie and/or Derek to break several of his bones. 5/6/18: I hope that when the Andrews write their Julie and Derek spinoff that one of the books takes place during another flare and Red shows up.
