A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

4.0

4.5 stars. A darker shade of magic has a LOT of hype in the book space. And for that I had very high expectations. The world is fascinating and the adventures grand, battles fierce, but for me it was a fun romp through worlds that was a little slow to start. However, while it may have taken a little longer than I would have liked for the story to pick up once it was going it was a sprint of action, tension and energy to the end. I’m excited to read the next two books and see where this story goes from here!
