![]() Black London was once brimming with magic, until its people let it devour them, and it now lays barren. Red London exists in harmony with magic, and is therefore lush and prosperous. From the missions that his king and adoptive father sends him on, we learn about the different London's that exist. He is one of only two people who possesses the unique power to use blood magic and travel between worlds, called Antari. A Darker Shade of Magic introduces us to Kell, our reluctant hero. If you're not familiar with the Shades of Magic series, let me set the stage for you. I know that there's a last book with a real conclusion and I won't be fooled by your cliffhangers.

When a series is split in this way, I just don't feel satisfied after reading just one. ![]() That's one of the reasons why I'm starting to get really annoyed at A Song of Ice and Fire, for example. I get really emotionally invested in the books I read, and I prefer to read all of the books in a series in one go if I can, to keep those feelings fresh. I didn't start reading the series until the final book, A Conjuring of Light, came out. Schwab's epic fantasy series finally came to a conclusion and I will never be the same. ![]()
