The Fragile Threads of Power

This book was meant to be an “all new series” separate from darker shade of magic, yet there was so much that I didn't understand or grasp the weight of because I have only read the first in that series.

I felt like I lacked all context needed to enjoy this book, and so only enjoyed one specific character's story. That part was very invigorating, but the left felt me feeling like “yeah? So what?”

I gave it 3 instead of two because I could have stopped and just gone back to read the darker shade series, but it's the principle of the thing. Also, Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere did the “magic london” concept better, and the Six of Crows series did heists AND a new series in the same universe better.
