Stolen Sorcery & Other Misadventures

Loved it. Bunch of surprise visits from some beloved members of the Guild Codex world that I deeply appreciated; I've missed them. Can't wait for the next book!

A Guildmaster has been found dead and Agent Söze is covering up the evidence. Kit and Lienna are determined to find out what he is hiding. But with Söze out to clear the board of any agent working against him, they must tread carefully. Söze won’t hesitate to put them down, and without concrete proof of what he is doing, Kit and Lienna don’t have a chance.

Stolen Sorcery & Other Misadventures ups the danger Kit and Lienna have to survive. While they are still trying to do their jobs as MPD agents and solve the murder of the Guildmaster, Söze is running interference and actively trying to remove them from the picture. The corrupt agent will use all kinds of dirty tricks and criminals to achieve his goals. And while Kit and Lienna make a dynamic team, they will not have enough support alone to take down Söze.

The leaps and bounds Kit and Lienna have made as a team are incredible. Starting as partners who miscommunicated and generally didn’t think in line with one another, they have grown from each other's influence. The slow simmering romance adds an underlying temptation for readers as well. And for those who fear romance will overshadow the rest of the plot, it most certainly does not. There is still plenty of magic-slinging action and close calls. If anything, Kit’s embarrassment and confusion over Lienna are endearing. He really wants to make sure he isn’t pushing boundaries without consent.

Kit took a while to solidify himself as a character worthy to follow, but his journey to where he is now in the series is worth the wait. There is an underlying mystery around his powers, and what exactly he will be fully capable of. Each book is a more intense exploration of the world and the various people and magics that create it.

The Guild Codex world is a great adventure for those who enjoy urban fantasy, fast-paced plots, character development, and a touch of slow-burning romance. Stolen Sorcery & Other Misadventures shows that Kit and Lienna have much more to learn and accomplish. And I can’t wait to see what they tackle next.

I love Kit so much and I'm glad he's back! Stolen Sorcery & Other Misadventures was awesome. Each one of Kit's books that comes out has become my new favorite and this one was no exception.

Unlike Rogue Ghosts, where there's a bit of unrelated magical fun before jumping into the main story, this one gets going immediately. We're left off with Agent Söze being an absolute **, and he ramps it up right away.

So much action in this book, and I loved every minute of it. Lots of scary fun adventures and Kit's humor & personality throughout. There's some breathing room for character development, and we get some really good stuff there.

Kit and Lienna make some serious strides in this book, and I love how it's playing out. Their whole thing is pretty great, and it's realistic and fun.

As always with The Guild Codex, there's tons of easter eggs and cameos of our favorite mythics. There's an introduction that I've been wanting for ages, and it is absolutely perfect. It's so much fun to see familiar characters through Kit's eyes.

The big mystery is excellent so far and I can't wait to see what's gonna happen next.
