Kahtrin Hutson starts the book strong, with a powerful MC and a statement that creates intrigue in the reader, like “Who is Kali Sullivan, why does she have such effect on men?” , “Is she human, a witch, or another type of magical creature?” and showing us an important part of the MC’s personality: she is as focused as she is fierce! And this is only the beginning.
That’s why we are total fans of Kathrin Huston! Her writing is feisty in all the right ways, and we love the characters she creates. From the start, we know that this book, and series, will be an adventure, and as we read, it keeps getting better.
The details are very well put and integrated in the fast-paced narrative in a way that doesn’t stop the flow of reading, keeping the book gripping as the story grows. Waves of mystery, action, suspense and emotional twists are sent to the reader without any signs of stopping.
With dark magic dripping from the pages told with healthy doses of dark humor, we cannot help losing ourselves in this story.
Kathrin Hutson can make her protagonists strong and believable without making them the center of “all strength”. Many of the villains and secondary characters are strong and menacing, but there are some “bold and dumb” characters that put a contrast to the story.
The build of the main character is natural badass, pure determination and sheer power, sure, but it wasn’t inherited from her folks, specially her very despicable father from hell. She trained for years to reach the current amount of knowledge, strength and magical prowess to earn the reputation she has. But even so our MC still has some major flaws and weaknesses, and not only from her human side. The fact that the artifacts she collects test every ounce of her and make her “lose it”, sometimes quite easily, are great details to read. Impressive from Kathrin Hutson.
The always present action, the original, immersive, with scenes will force a cinematic imagery on our heads. Fantastic. There isn’t only physical and magical altercations, well, there are a lot of that, almost every other page, but there is also stark emotional tension, personal tension, rising from unspoken inner-issues of our main characters that surface and create tension between them and all of the processes feel real, as there is trauma, miscommunication, misunderstandings, shouting and secrets kept between the parts, and thank god, little to no romance, although… one can assume that there is implied romantic tension, which makes this book even more original. Love it!
