Heyy guys!
Today I'm going to be sharing my thoughts opinions and feels on A Darker Shade of Magic
by V.E.
Schwab!
This is basically going to be a gush fest, because I freaking loved this book so much!
A Darker Shade of Magic follows a guy named Kell who is one of the last travelers, meaning
he's a rare magician with the ability to jump between parallel londons.
We've got Gray London, Red London, White London, and Black London.
Each very different from each other.
Kell is a red traveler and he carries messages back and forth between the different London
royals.
On the side Kell is smuggling things back and forth between different londons, for people
who are curious and want to see a glimpse of another london that they will never be
able to travel to.
Kell finds himself into a bit of trouble, when he finds out when something he is smuggling
is pretty freaking dangerous and he shouldn't be smuggling it at all.
He runs into Lila Bard who is a thief.
She robs him and then saves him, and then together they join forces on this epic adventure.
It's kind of a complicated storyline to explain, but hopefully that made sense.
So first off, let's talk about the writing, which was amazing!
It's so good!
I wouldn't expect anything less from V.E.
Schwab.
She is such a fantastic writer.
She is a freaking warrior when it comes to writing.
As you pick up different details about each London throughout the story, you're just so
easily able to visualize what they might look like.
You the reader really fall into the story and you feel like you yourself are on this
journey with Kell and Lila and trying to figure out what the heck is happening.
You might find the pacing at the beginning of the story to be a bit slow, but it's worth
it to keep pushing on, trust me!
You have to give the author time to really build up this world and suck you in.
I believe it was around the 100 page mark when I was just completely hooked and I didn't
want to put the book down, because it was just amazing!
& Delicious!
& I just wanted to eat the crap out of it, because it was so good.
The plot was dark and mysterious.
I just didn't think it was going to be as dark as it was, but it was haunting at times.
I love the way that the plot rolled out in such a striking way.
There's so much blood and violence and action packed scenes.
You're heart will be going THUD THUD THUD because of the intensity of this story.
The characters completely stood out to me.
I feel like this is one of Victoria's strong suite's when it comes to writing.
She creates these characters that will stick with you, they're not characters that you
easily forget about, they're characters that you just want to continue to know more about.
Kell was such an amazing lead character.
He's a character that has many layers to him and I really only feel like we scratched the
surface with his character in this story.
I feel like there's so much more to learn about him and I'm hoping we get more Kell
in the next book.
I'm sure we will!
Hopefully we will.
Please have more Kell in the next book, because he's the best!
He's powerful, he's smart and caring.
And I loved seeing his relationship with Rhy and just how willing he was to protect him.
Then we've got Delilah or rather Lila, who is our cross-dressing pirate-thief who is
sassy and hilarious!
I will say that I when I first started reading about her, I was unsure about how I felt about
her, but then as the story progressed, I just completely fell in love with her character.
She's got all these snarky remarks and she's able to hold her ground and she's just a force
to be reckoned with.
She's an amazing character!
So those are all my thoughts and opinions on..
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E.
Schwab.

Hey guys today I'm going to be talking about my thoughts opinions my feelings thoughts
and opinions feeling thoughts opin blah blah blah I think it was around the 100 page mark
where I was completely sucked on the story..
sucked on the story?
I was completely sucked on the story?
AHHH I AM TARZAN AHHH I AM TARZAN AHHH that kind of hurt la la la la la whoa it got really
bright hope it wasn't that bright the whole time through it probably was dang it.
I wonder if the sequels going to be called a brighter shade of magic ha ha ha probably
not, because I just imagine the next book being even darker than this book, so that's
a thing that I predict, the sequel's just going to be even darker.
