The beginning was weird and slow, but when I really got into the book, it turned out to be such an amazing story with great characters and unbelievable world(s). All these Londons were so different. I actually had a dream about the White one ... more like a nightmare, to be honest.Kell, a wizard who...

I approached this with some wariness, as I saw other readers had tagged it as YA and my experiences in that genre has led me to expect tiresome teenaged angst and even more tiresome love triangles, but this was a pleasant surprise. The only connection with that genre I saw was the age of the primary...

After I finished reading I realized that there are more books in the series. Maybe you’ll get to know Lila better in them and ...

I have a fascination on the many worlds concepts both in theoretical physics and in fictional worlds. With the goal of reading recently released paperback books (I just usually buy used books released years ago), I picked up A Darker Shade of Magic. I wanted to know how the concept of parallel world...

In typical fantasy fashion, it's a slow burn of world- and character-building at the start, with a great payoff in the form of a tight, tense and tidy wrap up that sets up future conflict while providing a satisfying ending to this book. Nice little set-up for Lila's future tucked away in the last q...
