A Darker Shade of Magic

4.25 stars rounded down.

A gripping, chilling fantasy full of all kinds of magic. Kell and Lila are both great characters with different motivations that makes the story captivating. I wish the magic system was fleshed out a little more or at least explained better. The action sequences were great! I cannot wait to read the rest of this trilogy and dive more into the magical Londons.
