It's a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand. A Gathering of Shadows Restless, and having given up smuggling, Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila, who disappeared from the docks like she always meant to do.

Just finished my re-read of this series in anticipation of finally reading The Fragile Threads of Power. While it can be a common fantasy series pitfall, I really appreciate how Schwab uses the increasing lengths to deepen the character development, expand the world building, and add complexity to the continuing plot. Each book still tells a distinctive story that builds upon the overarching narrative. I ❤️ Kell, Lila, Rhy, Alucard, and Holland.

TieDyeDude Nice! I read Darker Shade a couple years ago, and I'm really anxious to continue the series. Hope you like Fragile Threads! 10mo
Kimberlone @TieDyeDude it‘s really a wonderful series! 10mo

Behold the cover and title for the next book in Schwab‘s expanding Shades of Magic series. So cool. So, so cool. And yes, there was a little squee of excitement when I realized the cover is designed by my favorite cover designer.

EW just had the reveal this morning and what a great start to the day. Love. This. Cover.

I just loved this series! MIND-BOGGLING! The writing was really smooth and fast paced. Loved the concept of Magic in the book - completely unique and fabulous. The characters were very well developed. The relationships were perfectly drawn in the books, the love was woven intricately. Holland is my absolute favorite. The villains are beautifully portrayed giving time to protrude their viciousness to the readers. 4.8/5 stars from me!😍

If you want to read a trilogy with flaccid predictable characters, do not read this book. If you are in the mood for a story with magic, thievery, nobility, piracy, love and loss that takes place between parallel worlds of London, then read this trilogy!
