Magic Redeemed by K.M. SheaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Politics and the Nature of Trust
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This is the second book in a continuing series. You need to have read the first book to make sense of this one.
Now Hazel has unsealed her power she has to learn how to use it. She knows how to do all the standard spells from learning how to manage her much lesser powers, but to take on the vampires at Drake House in training, she has to think outside the box. As she starts to think experimentally things start to click together for her.
As she thinks once more about retaking her House, she knows she has to get the signet ring that belonged to her Father that is used to unite the House and the Adept together when the care of the House passes to a new Adept.
Killian faces more antagonism from the Night Court and seems to be using Hazel to do it. Killian finds he has become very protective of his little wizard, as have many of the vampires in his family.
There are a lot of politics in this book. Hazel has to try and wrangle the House back from her cousin Mason because her family are suffering whilst at his mercy. To do so, she needs the support of the other wizard Houses and the Wizard Council but somehow Mason seems to be beating her at every turn. We also see Killian pull out all of the political stops to help keep Hazel safe, even though he can’t quite understand why.
It’s nice to read an Urban Fantasy book that isn’t just all about the magic and the fighting but also accepts the strength of political manoeuvring. It’s not just how to fight that Hazel learns from Killian, but also his political acumen.
I like how gradually Killian and Hazel start to grow closer and develop feelings towards each other. They are cautious of each other but gradually start to trust a little it each day.
This really is a fantastic series and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
