A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab

5.0

No no no no no! Don't leave me here! The dread was building up as the pages dwindled down and I know this was going nowhere good. That being said, this book is amazing, one of the most well-crafted books I have ever read. I did a quick re-read of Darker Shade of Magic before picking this up, and while that one is an excellent book, this one is even better. Even the chapter titles were amazing. At about the middle, I felt like I was at the top of the roller coaster and for the rest of the book I was hurtling towards the end, and the last page left me at a sheer drop. Hopefully there is a track down there that will pick me up again, but I'm not sure I will survive the wait.
