A Questionable Client by Ilona Andrews

Rating *** (3 stars)

​A Questionable Client is a short story in the Kate Daniels world. While not written first, it is the prequel to Kate's world narrating when Kate meets Saiman. Since Saiman is a major figure in the rest of the series this is an important story to have. The great thing is that you can read it for free off of Ilona Andrews webpage. 

The story itself was a bit anticlimactic. The writing was fine. The characters were as good as in the books. The plot was just not as flushed out as I would have expected. I completely admit that this is due to all the hype of this meeting. It is mentioned in every (nearly every) book. I just expected more. Honestly, there was not all that much more then had been said in the books. 

This is actually the only Kate Daniels short story that I did not add much to the world. Maybe it would have been different if it was written from Saiman's perspective?
