A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
5.0
Victoria Schwab is a madwoman in a fantastic coat with short chopped hair.
Wait.
That’s not quite right.
Lila Bard is a madwoman in a fantastic coat with short chopped hair.
Where “madwoman” means delightful being who happens to be an excellent thief and has an even better hunger for adventure.
Where “fantastic coat” means she has a cool jacket, but if you think that’s cool you haven’t seen Kell’s.
Where “short chopped hair” means...well, short hair.
Kell’s jacket though? I mean, dang, where can I get me one of those? (Seriously though).
Alternate dimensions. Magic. Bloodlines. Royalty (and accompanying royal plots and schemes and drama). Pirates. Pickpockets. Princes.
A secret magic language.
Our very own London--and three others.
We have Rhy our charming prince, and Kell our solemn magician, and Lila our eager thief.
There’s love and blood and underhanded ventures and strict kings and deadly kings and corrupt kings and dashing young men and caring young barkeeps.
I honestly can’t think of a single thing this book is missing.
Except maybe you--have you read it? Because you should. You don’t want to be missing out, not on this.
