The Fragile Threads of Power by V.E. Schwab

5.0

I didn’t know I could love these characters and this world more than I already did. 

I haven’t stopped thinking about the Shades of Magic trilogy since I finished it, so this was such a treat to get back into. You definitely need to read the first books to understand this one in full even though its technically separate. I wasn’t sure how much Kell/Lila/Rhy we would get and I love how this was done. 

I loved getting to see all of our favorites a little more grown up and outside of the immediate aftermath of the events in the originals. The new characters are also a lot of fun and are brought into the fold in a super smart way and you end up loving them and hating them just as much as the OGs. 

V.E. Schwab, as usual, leaves me dying to read the next one.
