I love how distinctive Andrea and Kate are, and how incredibly different they become after reading their various points of view than you would ever expect from two very strong, physically capable females. I really think that this one is a must read before diving into Gunmetal Magic, as without this you won't really understand just how broken Andrea is at the beginning of that one. I want to strangle Raphael sometimes, but you can't help but love the smarmy bastard just a little bit. And also, the mythology is probably my favorite thing about this series and what places it above all other UF for me--I love how well researched it all is and how they work to incorporate so many folkloric beliefs over their books.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416898799044848769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-54837898225131224072013-04-08T01:14:52.138-04:002013-04-08T01:14:52.138-04:00I was afraid Kate and Andrea's voices would be...I was afraid Kate and Andrea's voices would be too similar, especially when Gunmetal Magic was announced, but I really had no reason to be. There are many differences in their voices and in their personalities, no matter how similar they look on the surface. I really loved Gunmetal Magic.
