Reviews for Dueling Magics

[lynnoconnacht · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A confession: I haven't read any of the "Kat, Incorrigible" books. This is set between the first and the second book, but you don't really need to have read the first to follow along. You'll be spoiled QUITE a bit if you haven't, be warned, but the story does stand on its own well.I enjoyed it. I wasn't (still am not) sold on the first couple of paragraphs (or the setting, really), but the story picks up very quickly and it's made me more inclined to see out the books. Kat's a fun characters, mischievous and smart and the relationship between her and everyone is delightful to read about and, for me, the way it spoiled the first book only made me more curious about how, exactly, everything happened.You'll no doubt get far more out of the story if you've read at least the first book, but it also serves as a fun, quick introduction to the world and the characters, so if you're unsure whether you'll click with Burgis' style or story (and don't mind spoilers), it's a great story to pick up.
