A Darker Shade of Magic Book Review

A Darker Shade of Magic - V.E. Schwab

This has been one of those books that's become hugely popular. I've been waiting for it from the library for a while now. It definitely lived up to its hype and I can't wait for the next one. Great characters, great writing, and a fantastic fantasy story line. 

 

Kell is the last of the travelers, traveling through Red and White London. Being owned by the prince's family and looking for the magical stone. Then he runs into Lila, a thief on the streets. The two work together to get the stone back to its original location, Black London. 

 

I loved the writing of this book. And I will now be reading the rest of V.E. Schwab's books. I imagine her young adult is just as good - and really this can be recommended to older teens that already read her books.
