Magic Shifts

I was worried this would be a boring filler book after the crazy events of the last one, but I think this might be my favourite in the series so far! It was a filler book in a way to transition Curran out of the beast lord role, with a lower stakes enemy, but I loved that Kate was back to being regular Kate instead of the consort role that was putting me off a bit the last couple of books. The humour was on point too. My only complaint is really just that I miss Derek, he has been seriously sidelined since his injury in book 3? 4? He was such a good character and I feel like they weren't sure what to do with him after that and he got replaced with other sidekicks like Ascanio or Andrea. I hope they do something interesting with his character before the series ends.
