A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
4.0
adventurous mysterious tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Original and easy to read. I was looking for a short, entertaining story and this book certainly ticked the box. The characters could do with a bit more depth, but it didn’t bother me as there was enough going on to keep me hooked. The location of London was also a little underutilised but overall a fun read.

I didn’t realise there are sequels, but it makes sense, as the world and its magic have lots of potential for more (we need a visit to Black London?!).
