Review: Bound by Magic (The Baine Chronicles Book 2) by Jasmine Walt

Bound by Magic by Jasmine Walt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Plot Thickens

I’d probably give this 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

This second book of the series continues strongly with Sunaya trying to follow up with the Enforcer case into the death of her mentor. In fact she’d settle for any Enforcer case as she’s getting low on funds and would like to continue to live outside the Mage’s Palace and away from the very temping, and forbidden, Head Mage.

When she accidentally comes across Lakin, the shifter who took over for her mentor after his death, she finds him working on the file that seemed related to her mentor’s murder. Together they start to look into the case and find a slew of problems for the shifter community.

This book is heavily plot based and doesn’t focus much on the emotions or history of the characters. With a longer series you tend to have different focuses within each book, as the overall series is the driving factor in content. As such it’s sometimes hard to rate a book as an individual rather than an element of the whole. However, this lack of emotional content is the reason for the lower rating. I hope that the next book ups that part of the content.
