I can see why people wouldn’t like this book as much as the others, but it’s still a fantastic lil fantasy novel. Kell and crew have to deal with the spread of Osaron’s influence. 

Kell is one of my favorite fantasy characters. I just really love settings in the different Londons, and his place within them. He has (threeish) world(s) on his shoulders, and a deep sense of duty and love for those around them. He’s really easy to root for, even if he can be a crab and an idiot. I loved his storyline, and how it intertwined with Lila’s and Rhy’s. Although I’m a huge fan of this series, a few parts could feel pretty clunky and some of the characterization was meh—but you know what? It was entertaining enough to make up for that, and I can’t wait to read more of Schwab’s writing.
