Gunmetal Magic (Kate Daniels, #5.5)

I'm fairly sure that I missed a Kate Daniels book, because I don't recall some of the events referred to in this book. That annoys me, and I'll have to go back and read whatever the last one was out of order now. It'll be worth it, though, because Ilona Andrews' writing is always fun. Gunmetal Magic is no exception.

This is the first novel to focus on Andrea Nash, Kate Daniels' best friend. Exposed as a shapeshifter, she's been kicked out of the Order. She had just chosen to obey orders from a superior officer instead of fighting with the Pack, which led to a breakup with her lover Raphael. Now she has to rebuild her life from a shattered ruin.

Andrea is a fascinating character, abused repeatedly in her terrible childhood and raised to be ashamed of and hide her shapeshifting nature. Her relationship with Raphael is informed by their bouda nature, but her human side isn't left out by any means.

I particularly enjoy the part that Atlanta plays in Andrews' books, but as a near-native Atlanta I'm bound to be biased in that respect.

This volume and the bonus novella "Magic Gifts" are definitely worthwhile reading for any fan of the Kate Daniels series.

Lovely quirky, comedic film. Kate Winslet is brilliant as usual. Her character returns as a bright and lively talented dress maker in a village full of drab, petty-minded, snooty people . Hugo Weaving's portrayal of a camp, dress loving police sergeant had me in stitches. I had never heard of this film but I don't know why it wasn't more popular.

Very slow Drama
The trailer for this looked ok and with Kate Beckinsale, Charles Dance in the cast I gave it a go. It's only 8 episodes long but somehow felt much longer. The first 2 episodes were very slow with little happening. After that there are some good twists and turns but overall didn't quite make much of an impact.
