⚔ The Grand IAA™ KD Buddy Rerererereread Extravaganza (GIAAKDBRE™), aka the yellow brick road to Magic Triumphs ⚔ Presenting Episode 0.5, or How Kate Daniels Learned it Takes a Lot of Effort Not to Puke in Saiman's Delicious Presence. Previous rating: 5 stars New rating: 10 stars. Ha. Why? ✔ Because Kate (view spoiler)[DUH (hide spoiler)]. ✔ Because Saiman. ✔ Because Post-Shift Atlanta. It's good to be home and stuff. ✔ Because pissing off Russians is never a good idea. ✔ Because ruined, stinky boots. ✔ Because Volhvs. Sadly, no Roman the Riveting Russian Rake (aka R⁴, Eeyore pajamas optional) to be had here. Life sucks. ✔ Because Badzula is super hot and sexy and stuff. I mean, who can resist a skinny, flabby, filthy, hissing middle-aged woman with grimy tangled hair and breasts dangling to her waist like two empty bags? I sure can't. ✔ And because: "Would you like some milk?" Obviously. That's a post plastic surgery, cleaned up Badzula trying to impersonate a cat. In case you were wondering. » And the moral of this reread is: beware of acorn-eating sexual deviants. Especially when they are slightly chained up to their bed when you first meet them. ➽ And the other moral of this reread is: • Book 1: Magic Bites ★★★★★ • Book 2: Magic Burns ★★★★★ • Book 3: Magic Strikes ★★★★★ • Book 4: Magic Bleeds ★★★★★ • Book 5: Magic Slays ★★★★★ • Book 6: Magic Rises ★★★★★ • Book 7: Magics Breaks ★★★★★ • Book 8: Magic Shifts ★★★★★ • Book 9: Magic Binds ★★★★★ • Book 10: Magic Triumphs★★★★★ [Original review - July 2014] Kate Daniels. She is it. What can I say, I’m a gushing fan girl when it comes to her! I really enjoyed A Questionable Client because it tells of Kate’s days as merc and of her first encounter with Saiman. This story also features the volvhs (which appear later on in the series) and we get a sneak peak at Kate’s background (and of developments to come) with the mention of Voron. As in the rest of the series, I really liked the introduction of mythology and folklore as part of the plot. Great action, great fun! As usual, Kate kicks ass while being funny as hell:Skinny, flabby, filthy, with breasts dangling to her waist like two empty bags, she tossed back grimy tangled hair and hissed at me, baring stumps of rotten teeth. "That's nice. Fuck you, too.""What happened?" "You fell." "Really? What did I fall into?" "My fist.""You must ask the question or it will kill all of us." The cat showed me its teeth again. For anything I asked, there would be a price. "Ask," the cat said, its voice laced with an unearthly snarl. "Ask, Kate," Saiman prompted. "Ask!" one of the volhvs called out. I took a deep breath. The cat leaned forward in anticipation. "Would you like some milk?"The girl just kills me!
