A review by trish204
Prequel to Magic Shifts by Gordon Andrews, Ilona Andrews

3.0

Another story from Curran's point of view. Well, this time it's not actually a scene retold. This is when Kate, Julie and Curran movie into their new house which provides an opportunity to tell Curran's story (where he comes from, how he lost his parents, what he did afterwards before he became the Beast Lord). It feels kind of ... rusty? The story isn't all that fluent, not like the scenes from his POV we read earlier. Moreover, this is just part 1 of 2 and because it's not actually finished yet, there are also quite a few typos which always throws me off. And it's nothing really new except who Curran's parents were pre-Shift (which felt weird too) because he told the story to Kate before. But it was still nice to "be back" before getting into book #9. :D
