Magic Triumphs (Kate Daniels, #10)

by Ilona Andrews

Mercenary Kate Daniels must risk all to protect everything she holds dear in this epic, can't-miss entry in the thrilling #1 New York Times bestselling urban-fantasy series.

Kate has come a long way from her origins as a loner taking care of paranormal problems in post-Shift Atlanta. She's made friends and enemies. She's found love and started a family with Curran Lennart, the former Beast Lord. But her magic is too strong for the power players of the world to let her be.

Kate and her father, Roland, currently have an uneasy truce, but when he starts testing her defenses again, she knows that sooner or later a confrontation is inevitable. The Witch Oracle has begun seeing visions of blood, fire, and human bones. And when a mysterious box is delivered to Kate's doorstep, a threat of war from the ancient enemy who nearly destroyed her family, she knows her time is up.

Kate Daniels sees no other choice but to combine forces with the unlikeliest of allies. She knows betrayal is inevitable. She knows she may not survive the coming battle. But she has to try.

For her child.

For Atlanta.

For the world.

A really great end to a great series. It involves all the Characters we love, the storyline is good and it really ties all loose ends up nicely, but not in an unbelievable "oh everything is great now and we all lived happily ever after" kind of way, but in a great, believable, realistic, happy satisfying end.

But it is really helpfull to have read Iron and Magic (Hugh's book) first, cause for one otherwise his redemption Arch is highly unlikely and unsatisfying and two, the main antagonist is introduced there, so you have more time to get to know him.

I love the addition of Conlan, he is fun and seeing Kate as a Mother is amazing and the conversations and interactions that go on are hilarious.

Conlan hugged my neck. “Bad.”
Razer was screaming because Curran had pulled his left arm off.
“Yes, bad. Look at Daddy ripping the bad man to pieces. Go Daddy!”
Conlan clapped his hands.


What I also liked in a maybe weird kind of way, that not all Characters make it out of the final fight alive, and not just some unimportant Characters, but at least one that we have got to known for pretty much the whole series. It just makes it more realistic and shows how high the stakes actually were.

For me, an absolutely satisfying ending to one of the best urban-fantasy series out there. This series was my introduction to the writing pair of Ilona Andrews and I can't wait to read the other books they have written and are going to write.
