Picking up right where we left off, Simon and Gray are still finding their way with new bonds, approaching ceremonies, and a whole lot of unanswered conflict swirling around them. Though the synopsis makes you think those things will be on the periphery of Cade and Rocky's story, they're not. It's more like Cade and Rocky fit into the happenings of Mind Magic's continuation in Body Magic. The events that flow through this story, however, really fit with the flow of the overarching plot and I'm definitely captivated by the overall story.
I like where things are going despite this being a more difficult story because of the more disturbing and questionable events included here. It's not an easy place where everyone finds themselves with more questions than answers and all kinds of complications that threaten all the good that they do experience. While I wish we got more introspection, decisiveness, and answer-seeking, we do get magic, bonding, tenderness, and a whole lot of passion.
Cade and Rocky's passion had more of an enemies-to-lovers vibe that sparked in Mind Magic, came to quick blows in Body Magic, and then fizzled just as quickly. I didn't think there was enough for Cade and Rocky's romance or connection and their particular story ended on a tentative HFN that I wasn't particularly happy about, though it did show promise and reconciliation.
I've got some difficult predictions for the villain and the whole triad of magic issues and I'm eager to see how they compare to the series' reality. The only romance that got a heavy hand was Gray and Simon as they navigate their bond and find comfort and strength amidst all the crazy that seems to be coming at them from every side. While I wish we had a better balance between the story and the second couple, I still like where I think we're going and can't wait to dive into Soul Magic.
