First, I thought this was a sequel and didn't pick it up. Then I read it was the first book in a series. Finally, halfway through, I found out both these statements were true.
I have to say, not having read A Darker Shade of Magic didn't damper my enjoyment for this book,nor did it make it difficult to understand. The author made sure there was enough information to go by.
I really enjoyed the world as well as the characters, even though most of the plot seems to be a setup for bigger things to come. I will read the first trilogy as soon as I get the chance and definitely get the rest of this one.
