The Fragile Threads of Power by V.E. Schwab
5.0
Thank you Netgalley for the free ARC provided in return for an unbiased review.
All the characters return seven years after Osaron is defeated. Rhy, Alucard, and their Queen rule Red London. Lila and Kell pirate the seas. Introduced are two young characters, one who can see magic threads and the details if spellwirk in Red London and the other the “little queen” who revived White London after inheriting Holland’s antari magic. The threads of each story come together after a slow burn of acquainting with reader with the lives our favored characters and bringing in the theft of a box that can open doorways between any location including worlds, threatening King Rhy who is blamed for magic waning.
Kell, Lila, Rhy, and Alucard are joined by additional characters who the reader roots for. I didn’t care that the story was slow because I missed the cast. Can’t wait for the next one. Meanwhile, I’ll be rereading A Darker Shade of Magic.
