A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

adventurous dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

listen, I know my friends will think I only give five stars to VE Schwab because they’re my fave author (which true), but it’s because of how well developed and fleshed out not only the plots are, but also the settings and characters! 

no matter whose character I was reading, they all had such distinct voices and quirks. I was obsessed the second I picked it up and I know this universe is going to be one that lives in my head rent free forever. the different Londons, the magic systems, EVERYTHING! love love love!!!! 

also Kell and Lila have my entire heart (Rhy too) <3
