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!
