A review by valeria_gzz
A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

4,5 because it was slow at first.
OH MY GOSH I TOTALLY SAW THAT COMING BUT THE EXECUTION WAS AMAZING!!!
I’m glad there was more Rhy and his relationship with Kell, I still really like Kell and I like that we got to meet Alucard BUT I didn’t like the way Lila was written sometimes
(now I see why she had to be written as an “I’m not like most girls” character though so I won’t count points off for that).
I definitely teared up a little on page 284.
BUT WOW WHAT AN AMAZING ENDING and I totally saw that coming as soon as it was mentioned that she had a fake eye.
