A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
3.0
The balance was a little off for my personal reading tastes, but this was still a really fun and enjoyable read. I would have liked to see more happen in terms of plot, I enjoyed seeing Lila, Rhy, and Kell handle, or not handle, the aftermath of the previous book. That being said, Lila could be a bit infuriating. Headstrong is a kind way of describing her, and I found it a bit harder to cheer her on in this book. Not that I didn't enjoy her perspective or tenacity. Because I did. But I did find it harder to overlook how foolish she could be when she only lead with her gut.
On the other hand, learning more about Kell and Rhy's relationship as brothers was really enjoyable because it was obvious that a lot of thought went in to how their dynamic works now that they are bound to one another.
While I tore through this book nearly as quickly as I did the first, I wish the plot had picked up the pace a little sooner than when it did, which was about 2/3 of the way through the book.
