This also happens to be the story where Teddy is introduced a little more fully, so it's fun to recall these side characters. Through family connections, we get to explore new mythology. The story has a more profound emotional resonance now, during this time of emerging trans voices, particularly because accepting her Beastkin is also about accepting active sexuality.īeyond that, it's also good Andrews fun with equal parts investigating, fighting, witty repartee and romance. In many ways, Andrews wrote a beautifully apt metaphor for issues around gender and sexuality, or people who have inside selves that are not validated by the larger world. Novellas sometimes do down easier, as Magic Tides demonstrated, so I thought I'd retry this one devoted to Andrea, Kate's best friend and Knight of the Order.Īndrea is also a closeted Beastkin, and that secret self is one of the biggest challenges of her life. Not all of them, mind you though it is one of my favorite urban fantasy series, and definitely my favorite with a female lead, there are elements that make a whole series binge undesirable for me. The recent release of the novella Magic Tides has me revisiting some of the books in the Kate Daniels world.
