Stolen Magic is the second book in the New York Shade series following Sin and Damian as they try to root out the real basis of this Uprising so set on ruining everything. Sin hasn't heard from Damian in months though, and she's pretty sure that he kind of holds her attempted murder against her and she's learning to be okay with that. But when he drops back in she has to figure out where this is really going.
I accidentally got behind on reviews and finished this series before writing this review so I'm biased. This one is kind of boring because you get the back and forth of Sin and Damian just being annoyed at each other for different things that's really just the baseline epitome of the miscommunication trope. Her brother is completely out of the picture and it's just a weird balance of trying to integrate regular life into their quirky magic circumstances.
Had mixed feelings about the introduction of another possible love interest, Damian and Sin have a kind of instalove story so competition is fun but also I don't think it's really challenging their relationship to authentically develop. I do like the werewolves though and I'm all in all not mad. It was just very much a filler novel, not detrimental to the series but not as exciting as the first.
