A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
Overdramatic dialogue that felt juvenile and unrealistic in a way that made conversations between characters lose a lot of flow. I also was really let down by the bare bones nature of the worldbuilding that, within 174 pages, really was not delved into much beyond setting up the various Londons and some magic. But after 174 pages, I didn't feel that the plot had moved much at all and the world was uninteresting, sadly.
