A review by megfredericks
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

2.0

I really wanted to like this, but I felt there was nothing in this story to really grab onto. The characters felt barely developed, and the lore and magic system very vague and uninteresting. The villains were also a weak point, I found I didn't care much about them at all and just felt super detached from the story. I kept with it in case things improved, but when the plot finally resolved, I just felt glad that it was over.
