Re Gunmetal Magic? Yeah, I know. But from what I've read on Good Reads and Amazon - it is important to the series and clarifies some character bits that arise in Magic Rises. There's a novella included in Kate's pov about Curran and Kate. And the book underlines the fact that Kate's various injuries are beginning to catch up with her.
Whoa - you read through those fast. (Of course I read them in snatchs, limited time.) Guessing you enjoyed them?
I'm enjoying the writing style. It's playfully snarky. And all the characters are complicated, flawed, and interesting. One of the better Urban Fantasies.
From what I've gathered from vague Good Reads reviews - I'm avoiding major spoilers.(So don't say anything). The only thing I'm vaguely spoiled on regarding Magic Rises - is the cause of the relationship angst between Curran and Kate - which is what upset a lot of people. (People identify way too strongly with these romantic relationships...)(Apparently Curran gets it on with a were princess who wants to take Kate's place and is attempting to kill her. But he does it in order to keep the princess from killing or harming Kate.) That intrigues me. And I'm guessing Gunmetal Magic helps explain why he'd feel the need to protect her in that way.
