“I'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still.”

I don’t know why it took me so long to read A Darker Shade of Magic. At least I’ve read it now because I have a feeling it’s ongoing to be one of my favorite trilogies. 

Kel and Delilah have such great chemistry together and I am fully invested in their stories - both together and separately. I am left with so many questions I want answered about both of them. The setting in this story is fascinating to me. The multiple Londons and their applicable colors being relevant to something in the physical world is so cool. Genuinely, I could continue to rave about tiny individual parts of this novel that I found compelling but I’ll stop here and just say this: if you’re a magic loving fantasy reader just do yourself the favor and read this book. 

Content note: the violence isn’t particularly gore heavy - however there is quite a bit of violence and murder, heavy on the blood content.
