A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

5.0

Absolutely incredible. The world-building and character development in this book is unrivalled - I hesitated to read this for a long time, I couldn’t tell you why, but now that I have I can’t believe it took me so long. I have to admire V.E. Schwab for inventing one of the more original fantasies that I’ve come across. The elements of otherworldliness, dark magic, and a hint of pirates and thievery made this an incredible adventure from start to finish. It took me a while to get through, but this book was a delight to come home to at the end of everyday. I absolutely can’t wait to dive into the next book and meet with Kell and Lila again.

How could I give this anything but 5 stars? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
