I am interested to see where the story leads purely on the basis that the first one wrapped up pretty nicely, it didn’t seem to set up for anything else. That being said, I own the whole trilogy and will continue it. It reads like a standalone, which is fine, but considering most of the book is a bit unmemorable there wasn’t anything particularly enticing me to continue the series. I just wanted a bit more from this book, as a first book in a series. Schwab comes up with such good ideas and concepts, but they always lack something for me. I like the worlds, the concept is pretty cool. This book, however, the moment it was done, so was interest… This is unusual for Schwab, she usually leaves some kind of impression, I still think about Vicious even years after reading it, I also read Addie Larue back in Jan and I’m still thinking about it. I read this last month and honestly hasn’t left much of an impression on me. In my opinion it was nothing special, nothing bad either. Her writing is always gorgeous and lovely to read. However, it was writing amazingly, I expect nothing less from Schwab. Usually I prefer a faster pace for fantasy, unless it’s based on political intrigue/world building, we don’t really either here.
She writes very prettily, which is nice, but it does make for a slower read. To save all of the worlds, they’ll first need to stay alive. Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. She first robs him, then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure. It’s a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand.Īfter an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they’ll never see. Kell was raised in Arnes-Red London-and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see. Kell is one of the last Antari-magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black.
