A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
adventurous
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? No
3.5
I loved the premise of this one. Multiple Londons? Only certain people can pass between the two? A feisty thief? Sign me up!
It did feel a little slower than I was expecting, and didn’t fully hook me right away. However the build up to the ending was much more engaging and fast-paced. Really looking forward to this momentum heading into Book 2.
On the character side, I wanted more from them and wanting to see them grow. I didn’t love any of them in particular, but hoping to see more in later books.
3.5 stars (or stones) for me.
