A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab

3.0

This is a slow burn. I LOVE the world building, the characters, and all the magical elements. However...I have to give this book a 3.5 only because I was slugging through parts 1-5. Although it’s interesting, it’s filler and aimless. Everyone is just stagnant. It doesn’t propel the story forward, but more so drags it along until it kicks into gear in parts 6-10. I was glued to the pages there on.
