A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
4.0
4.5....it feels like filler but very entertaining filler
the book was good i am just having a breakdown in life in general so. maybe not so good that i just consumed this as a distraction
the games were like ???? lila and kell both desperately wanted to enter but did they get anything out of it??? unclear.
i do not.....like lila and kell as a ship......gay lila is the hill i die on. she saw the pirate lady (kosta?) and kasimyr and was like hot DAMN. alucard introduce me. i simply think...if there was a rival pirate captain, and she and lila have beef, and get a juicy enemies to lovers plot....that would be neat. also it would make 'im not like other girls' make more better since itd be like 'OH its because i LIKE other girls'....internalized homophobia that manifests as misogyny bro
kell still has no personality i truly dont get it (how do i find him likeable with no personality? well)
black london lila theory stans (me) stay strong for book 3
lila and alucard are truly the only characters i care about. alucard pick ur head up king ur pirate hat (just one of many from ur massive hat collection) is falling
stasion is hilarious to me. i hope hes kind of a shitty magician (who thought he'd flop on round one) and comes back and is all angry but then the public is all like 'wow stasion! that magician who made it to the semifinals wow so cool' and he just rolls with it like. 'yea, that was all me' and he gets the semifinal prize money and leaves
NO ONE BOUGHT UP THE MURDER OF ONE OF THE COMPETITORS I TOTALLY FORGOT. i thought that was foreshadowing to like...veskan/arnesian war and lila facing the consequences of her actions...
another thing that never came up. the spooky mirror salesman. "oh my god how did he know my name" that's just his party trick. he didnt mean anything by it. alternatively all of alucards crew wears nametags like theyre in retail. or lanyards.
