"Magic Slays" is more emotional -- Kate discovers the cruel lies of her childhood, doubts Curran's love for her, and is faced with (possibly) having to kill someone she loves. She's stripped off some of her emotional armor and allowed others into her heart, and so these events are all the more painful for her to deal with.

We are treated to a "must defeat this or all around me will die" scenario. Considering how formidable the bad guys were supposed to be, I thought they were dispatched of relatively easily. The storytelling is good. But the book begins to bog down under the sheer weight of its cast of characters. Similarly, the resolution of the Julie issue felt rushed.
