Hey guys!! Hope you all had a great weekend! The weather here was crazy hot, so we spent most of our time outside 🙂 Anyway, this weeks pick for me is a series that I have literally heard so many amazing things about, but I have never actually gotten to myself! I ordered the series at the end of last week from amazon (Thanks to the hubby buying me a gift card for books for our anniversary :-* ), so it should be here later this week!
A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab
Published: February 24th 2015 by Tor books
Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black.
Kell was raised in Arnes—Red London—and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see.
Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they’ll never see. It’s a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand.
After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure.
Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they’ll first need to stay alive.
I’m really hoping to get to this book this summer! It’s time I joined the Schwab bandwagon! 🙂
I wasn’t too hot on this savage song, and I have yet to read Our Dark Duet – but I’ve heard amazing things about this series, so I’m really looking forward to it 🙂 I hope you enjoy it too 😊😊
I have her on my list and maybe a copy of this? I just cannot find the time. Soon, I hope. Happy reading. Hope it cools down 🙂
I know that feeling! Too many books and no time for all of them 😂
I have heard great things about this home and I am hoping to read in the near future!
I hope you enjoy it as well 😊😊
I am so excited to see you’re starting this series Lauren. The Shades of Magic trilogy is an all-time favourite of mine and I’m sure you’ll love it as well. I think ordering all three books so you have them on hand ready to go is a good choice when it comes to Schwab’s books. 😀
I can’t wait to see what you think of these! 🙂
According to Amazon, they should be here by Friday 🙂 I bought a sort of bulk of books 😂😂 but I have definitely heard some amazing things, so I’m looking forward to getting into them!
Hopefully they arrive early Friday in that case. 😀
Ha, I’m always buying a bulk of books! 🙂
I hope to read this one soon too. I hope you enjoy it 💕🌸💕
This is one of my very favorite series of the last few years. I LOVE the world and the characters. I have pre-ordered a special edition of the first 1 & I’m hoping to re-read them all (probably next year). Hope you enjoy!
I’m so glad to hear that!! I’ve heard so many people rave about these books, that I just have to read them and see what it’s all about 🙂 thanks!!
