This book was indeed like coming home.  The beginning was a pretty slow start, constructing the stage, bringing us back to our favorite characters, and introducing the newer ones. V.E. Schwab's writing has always been one of my favorites and this one was no different. The transitions between past and present scenes were so seemless and helped the flower of the narrative for each character and what they had been up to in the past seven years... or how the newer players obtained their role in this story.

I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series, because if it's anything like the previous Shades of Magic trilogy, the story is just going to get better and better!
