I think this is my all time favorite YA series I’ve read so far in a few years and that’s really saying something

I can’t really put into words why I enjoyed these books so much. I read them all while on vacation and I fell in love with the characters (Kell my BABY) and the plot and the universe

It was a completely original universe, and I ADORED the idea of multiple London’s. I’ve lived in London for a few years and I love that city to bits and seeing it on pages really made me smile.

The magic, is magical. It’s so simple yet that’s what makes it work. It’s a magical system that makes SENSE and doesn’t over complicate. This is helped by Schwab’s writing style which I find I really like. It’s a very simple writing style, which flows making it easier to read and harder to put her books down

I’m definitely going to read her other works now

What a series. The world was unique and intriguing. Listened on audio and narrator(s) were solid. Engaging from early on in the first book and had to complete the series. I don't want this to be flagged as having a spoiler, so I won't get in the details, but the organization of the magic, character development ( especially through books 1 and 2 ), and quality of the universe were very engaging.

This is a beautiful boxed set. I love the art in the front and back cover, the map, and the bonus chapters. Amazing books too!
