FR REVIEW :
I picked this up after the first book. I was in the mood to binge read the series and I couldn't wait to start. I was quite excited to see Lila, Kell, and Rhy's journey and where life would take them. A Gathering Of Shadows picks up 4 months after A Darker Shade Of Magic ended. Let's just say that this book kept me hooked to the story from beginning to end. I don't know how to talk about anything without giving any part of the story away, because of major SPOILERS!!! The book is set up with the expansion of the world or to be more precise, Arnes, and surrounding countries. New characters are introduced. We get to see more magic, preparation for Elemental Games, new customs and cultures, etc. The writing as usual was amazing. The pacing was also good. I felt fully immersed in the story and flew through the book very quickly, which I did not expect by the length of the book. The magic has gotten darker and we have more sequences that are bloodier than the first book. I feel like the journey is simply fascinating and engrossing in every way. Some of the characters were very impulsive and therefore quite entertaining to read about. I think if you love reading series that builds up with each book, you will love this series. I gave the book 5 stars. If you love books with a great cast of members, an intricate world, and cool magic you should definitely pick up this series.
