A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab! Excerpt review!

To be released Feb 24 2015

I received and excerpt of this book from Tor Books on Net Galley and boy am I glad I did.

This excerpt got me hook, line and sinker from the get-go. 
Four different versions of London, two people who can walk among them.   Both are used as pawns for their magic to 'deliver messages' with varying degrees of freedom.   One illegally transports trinkets between the worlds, considered Treason, and the other is trapped in a horrible situation!

Then there is Lila, a cross-dressing, pick-pocket who aspires to be a pirate.  What's not to love?  Add a magic with a Dark history, and the fact that one of the London's is dying and you have the melting pot of mysterious intrigue  that is A Darker Shade of Magic.

Magic is dangerous, it needs to be treated with care, but is it?

I simply can not wait to get my hands on the full text!  The characters are interesting in their ambitions and drives and even just the general circumstances of their being combined with the amazing world building that Victoria Schwab has done leaves me craving more!


This is definitely one of my most anticipated books in the history of my reading career!
