Magic Revealed by Linsey Hall

mrose21's review against another edition

4.0

I did really enjoy this book. I found it funny and I loved the action that is in it. It is good in a way that although things are not resolved its not so bad that things are completely not solved. Its just not all wrapped up in a bow. Its fixed partially and as the books go on more pieces of the puzzles are put together.

I always find Linsey Hall's books to be intriguing and enjoyable. Every now and then, one is particularly good, but I always know I'm going to enjoy the book. Some stand out more than others, but in general, they are fun quick reads. I prefer her Shadow Guild and later works to these series, but they are still enjoyable.

Such a fun read

This series has been such a fun read. This book really focused on Del’s past, which is so sad. It’s so amazing that she was able to find Cass and Nix and create her own family. Love how her and Roarke’s relationship is growing.

I have some trouble with Del’s ability to bring the past back to life. It’s this weird thing where the past and present collide, and sometimes it seems like it’s a temporary thing that fades when the magic’s done, but sometimes it seems like Del can change the past? Huh? It’s awkward as hell and I wish Hall hadn’t worked in the whole change-the-past aspect of it. It’s just too finicky and easy to screw up if you aren’t really really careful. And, well, sometimes Hall isn’t entirely careful with her details. (Still waiting for an explanation as to why people will use bows and arrows but not guns in these books.)

That said, watching Del master her magics and gain new ones is fun. She and her friends are turning into a walking magical arsenal; Nix has got to be getting magic envy while waiting for her own sub-series. Also, the fight scenes are still fantastic, with plenty of magic-slinging and whole armies of demons ready to be squished at our heroes’ feet.

Best of all is the sheer kick-assery of our heroines. Their honeys are partners and teammates, not super-protectors. The guys so far respect their women. I think Roarke and Del have more chemistry than Aidan and Cass. Also note that while there is a touch of romance in these series, it’s not the dominant theme and is PG-rated. I also love Del’s weird fetish for good luck charms! The series is a little formulaic as urban fantasies go, but it’s just plain fun and I’m enjoying it so far.

enjoyable, but language and plot development a bit basic at times
