Revisiting a series can be a tricky endeavor for an author but Schwab absolutely nails it with this one.  It was such a treat to return to the Londons to check in on all our favorite characters from the original series.  The introduction of the new characters was excellent too - they get their own time to shine but interwoven with Kell, Delilah, and the gang from the original Shades of Magic series.  I can't wait to see where those characters will take us through Red and White (and maybe more of Black and Grey?) London in future books!
