I loved it! My favorite book of the year so far! 

Some parts of the story were obvious and guessable, but I loved that because it gave me a feeling of nostalgia, which was strange for a new story and new author. 

The first 50 pages or so were slow, but once I was hooked, I couldn't put it down! I don't think I have this much fun reading a fantasy series for the first time since high school!

I had no expectations set for this book, not knowing anything about this book or author. I was pleasantly surprised. I will definitely be continuing on to the next book(s) in this series.

Other Londons. 

Men walking through magical doors. 

Stones that made something out of nothing.

It was all the stuff of stories. 

Of adventures. 

"T'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still."

A Darker Shade. Of Magic is one of the best books l've read this year!!! 

VE SCHWAB the author you are!!! 

He would see her again. He knew he would. Magic bent the world. Pulled it into shape. There were fixed points. Most of the time those points were places. But sometimes, rarely, they were people. For someone who never stood still, Lila still felt like a pin in Kell's world. One he was sure to snag on.

This book is phenomenal, but there are parts that aren't for the weak of stomach.
