More often than not, magic is weaved into the very nature of the fantasy world in which it’s set and so by placing magic in, say, modern day London it often seems like either the magic system is poorly justified or the city (London) has been skewed beyond recognition which begs the question, why bother setting it in London? Well, Fated is urban fantasy, set in London, with magic…I couldn’t help but think yikes! However, the buzz surrounding this novel was enormous prior to release, with it being frequently touted as one of most anticipated books of the year. I love both UF as a sub-genre and I does bloody love me a good magic system, but the idea of combining them always seems just a little bit wrong.
I am always apprehensive at the thought of urban fantasy including magic.
