A story rather scrappy but with an endearing heroine ...

This first volume does not really appealed to me ... yet the summary of the publisher was rather interesting.
But the more I advanced in reading the story, I found more disjointed with abrupt changes "stage scenery."
Thus understanding, followed by history have been difficult to integrate because throughout the novel I had to perform backtracking in order to situate myself in the story.

Really not nice!

Despite all this novel is not without quality:

* The heroine is charming with its hard edge to cook, feisty, rebellious but also with his side flayed, of retributive and solitary despite it.

* The universe created by the author is really worked with a host of details that allow to soak in the daily Kate Daniels.

For all these reasons, I wanted to read the second part "Burn Magic" in this series. And it proved much easier to read ... pleasantly catching the first volume.
