He went from being this big bad guy that I loved to hate to a real person with emotions, thoughts, and reasoning. This novel made Hugh human in my perspective. I want to be clear on how I felt about Hugh, so you’ll understand how much this novel changed things for me. I mean, I thought he was a well-designed character, but I never shipped him and Kate (always thought of them more as siblings than anything…albeit ones that didn’t get along too well) and I certainly never would have pictured him as the main character in his own series.
I’m not really sure what I was expecting from Iron and Magic, but I certainly got more than whatever that was.įor the sake of honestly I should tell you something. I read the whole book in a day, and have no regrets about it.Īctually, once I was finished with the book I had to sit back and think about it for a day or two. I can’t tell you how great of an idea that was for me. I shameless bought two copies this novel a dead tree copy to add to my Ilona Andrews shelf, and a digital copy so I wouldn’t have to wait to read it.
Based on what happened, I’m sure we can all guess what the intent was, but I won’t spoil that for you here. It has to get us, and certain characters, to a specific point in order to have the events in Magic Triumphs make sense. That takes guts, but is also really kind to us fans.īesides being fun though, this book actually serves a very important purpose. I have to give this creative duo credit for this this listened to their fans and made a novel they had never intended on solely because of the reaction to it.
Ilona and Andrew Gordon originally made a ‘snippet’ of a Hugh novel as an April Fool’s joke, but it got so much attention and was so loved by the fans that something eventually came of it. In case you don’t know the backstory of how this book came to be, it’s actually a pretty funny tale. In fact, fans of the series should absolutely recognize the main character here: Hugh d’Ambray. Iron and Magic is the first in the Iron Covenant novels, but it’s set in the same world as Kate Daniels.
