Just finished reading A Darker Shade of Magic and oh my goodness, I enjoyed every word of it! From page one, the characters and magic system had me enthralled, not to mention the absolutely beautiful descriptions of everything from setting, to clothing, to fleeting emotions. I can't believe it took me this long to read it, it's been on my list forever!

Ammetto di essere partita un po' prevenuta nei confronti di questo testo, perché non avevo avuto dei raffronti positivi sulla scrittura della Schwab... E invece mi sono dovuta ricredere perché ho trovato l'idea molto interessante e originale, una scrittura lineare e godibile e personaggi intriganti (chi più e chi meno).

È stato un piacere seguire le vicende di Kell, e spero di poter continuare al più presto con i volumi successivi, ma allora perché non dare voto pieno?

1) secondo me in questo volume ci voleva un pochino di coraggio in più e dire apertamente che Kell è innamorato di Rhy, o comunque prova per lui dei sentimenti che superano l'affetto fraterno (perché marcare in corsivo "suo" quando pensa "Il suo Rhy", insomma, non lo equivochi così tanto, eh). E magari ammettere una certa bisessualità di Kell (quando viene detto senza mezzi termini che Rhy lo è).☹️

2) ho trovato il finale un po' affrettato. I Dane sono morti e non si approfondisce nemmeno un po' il comportamento dei re di Londra Rossa verso Kell (aw, cuoricino quando lui finalmente dice "i nostri genitori"), che mi sembra per la prima volta finiscano per rivolgersi a Kell non più come a un figlio (a dispetto di quanto abbiano sempre detto e fatto), ma più come un vero traditore, un estraneo, ecc.
