t_a_timothys 's review for:

A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab

2.0

slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: N/A

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

---

An exercise in writing without conflict or stakes. The magic that made book 1 flow is gone. I can only hope the 3rd book recaptures that magic.
