Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, Industrial processesįrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews comes an enthralling new trilogy set in the Hidden Legacy world, where magic means power, and family bloodlines are the new currency of society. Reference, Information & Interdisciplinary subjects Hong Kong Golden Dragon Books 2022-2023.If you liked the Kate Daniels series, or the Innkeeper Chronicles, give this series a try. You’ll want to start with books 1-3 to get the full understanding of the world and the character set, but book 4 lives up to the (admittedly high) expectations of an Ilona Andrews read. Andrews does an amazing job immersing the reader in the politics between the families which leads more than once to outright magical warfare complete with heir own rules of engagement. The magical elite have formed dynasties, making alliances and selectively match-making the next generation to further their specific type of magic powers, building wealth and influence. The world building is one of the most interesting things about this novel. Ultimately, their involvement comes with a price, and the truth about the Baylor family history and their magic soon surfaces. But she keeps being pulled into problems above her weight class, because Nevada can’t stop herself from helping other people in need. Surrounded by a cast of lovable and quirky family members, Nevada tries to hold together their family PI business. In a world where the magic elite get away with murder–assuming they’ve filed the right paperwork–the OG MC (original main character) Nevada Baylor is a magically out-powered underdog. The series premise is a kinda like Veronica Mars with magic. And in true Ilona Andrews fashion, the romance thread is strong, and slow burning, while the plot carries the weight of the story and keeps you turning pages. Her story is interesting, and the world – developed through books 1-3 in the Hidden Legacy series – is as fascinating as ever. Catalina is a great main character, with her own personality, interests, and perspectives. Often the new set characters fall flat compared to the original set, or they feel like a continuation of the first set, just with different names.īut Sapphire Flames really delivers. I don’t always love spin off characters, and I was nervous I wouldn’t enjoy the read. Book Four, Sapphire Flames, is from a new MC perspective, Nevada’s little sister, Catalina.
