The first couple of stories really demonstrate the breadth of his ego. I picked up this collection to get a better understanding of the Beast Lord of Atlanta, and while I did get to see another side of him, I also got to see that he truly is full of himself, no surprise there. I’d been hoping there would be more stories about life at the Keep, instead many of the stories are about how Curran sees Kate. To me though, the writing or rather the world seen through Curran’s eyes isn’t as interesting or nuanced or unpredictable as Kate’s, but what is interesting is seeing “behind the scenes”power struggles unfolding at the Keep, which Kate isn’t privy to. ![]() The overall impression I got is too much telling and not enough showing, which is characteristic of Curran’s lion-king personality. ![]() Ive been looking forward to reading this compilation and waited until I finished Magic. Each story has a short subtitle describing the event taking place, so as to let you avoid spoilers. Curran POV Collection by Gordon Andrews My rating: 4 of 5 stars. ![]() This book is a collection of short stories told from Curran’s POV, hence the title, and the stories included are chronological from Magic Bites (#1) to Magic Bleeds (#4). I put up with him because I enjoy the series, but I could do without Curran. Just wanna preface this short review by saying I’m not a fan of Curran. Recommended for: fans of Curran (obviously) ![]()
