A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

5.0

I feel bad that I started this amazing book after being in a reading slump, hence the two weeks it took me to read it. I think I would of been able to appreciate this book more while I was reading it had I not been in a reading slump. But at the end with 8 pages left I really felt how good the book was and truly didn’t want it to be over. By the end I finally acknowledged how much I loved this book.

MINOR SPOILERS!!
Now after saying that I’ll mention the fact that soo many charters died in this. And those who didn’t came close to death at least once. They’re really never getting a break. This of course means two of my favorite characters did end up dying, I was very sad because they had so much potential to be funny side characters. Even though they only made about two appearances, I still loved them. Overall I really liked the cast of characters we got those including Kell, Lila, Rhy, and Gen and Parrish of course.

I loved the setting of this book, the worlds with different magic and history. The magic system was great and the plot was fast-paced. The humor as well the character dialogue was so fun to read.
