Left Hang
Magic by Nancy A.
Collins is the latest book Golgotham series. It was a fun book but I think it
may have failed to fully capture the spirit of Right Hand Magic.
I adored Right
Hand Magic. It has a spark that I enjoyed. Plus I was fully captured by
Golgotham, this supernatural enclave within New York City. It was fun to see a
human get her introduction to a world that was mostly unknown to her. It had
great characters, great setting and a great mix of history and location.
Left Hand
Magic picks up from
where Right Hand Magic left off. Tate and Hexe are happy together and Golgotham
is becoming less off limits by humans of New York City much to the chagrin of
the native population. Things start getting very tense between the humans and
Golgathamites including attacks on other races.
I enjoyed the
book. It reminded me of the reasons I loved in the first book. Plus this book
did a nice job of reminding the reader the major events that happened in the first
book. The characters were really strong. You got to see more of Hexe’s family
which was nice and fun.
The biggest
problem was about 1/3 the way in, I started to get a sneaking suspicion of the
end. That feeling continue to nag me just like a smoker craves a cigarette
during a long day. A hundred fifty pages later, I saw that my suspicions were
dead on and that disappointed me. I was hoping that there would a twist to come
or for something to surprise me.
In the end, Left
Hand Magic was like a movie sequel. It could capture part of the magic of
the first part but then there was something missing. For me it was plot twists.
