A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

4.0

Such a great read where imagery alone could carry the story. And yet we also have layered characters and an intriguing plot as well. There is such excellent world building that seems to delay the action for a bit but nevertheless keeps the reader captivated. The writing was magnificent and pulls the reader in as they swiftly become a part of the story. I loved the characters beyond measure and rooted for them from start to finish. The plot was well-crafted and quite unique at certain moments.
The entirety of it reads with a soft touch of poetry. Lovely.
