This is a tightly plotted story, one that touches on some big themes like racism, seclusion, and government conspiracy theories, and one that is much more present than in Hard Magic where the plot was a way to get from action sequence A to action sequence B. From here we get three very distinct plots that have been cleverly intertwined - the series overarching threat of the all consuming predator being the primary concern for Grimnoir knights, the deep seated distrust and fear of actives by the government, media and general public making life very hard on anyone who exhibits any power, and the coordinated attempt by some well funded and well resourced organisations to capture / kill Sally-Faye Viera because they seem to know / fear exactly what is going on with Faye’s power. When an assassination attempt on the President is pinned on the Grimnoir Society, Jake Sullivan and his cohorts become fugitives, on the run from a government agency who are after more than just imprisoning these freaks. This book is just an absolute blast to read. This is a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish, and is full of set pieces that leave you gaping in awe. That is what I expect every time I pick up a Larry Correia book, and with Spellbound, that is exactly what you get. That predator has just landed on Earth.Īction.
