“Kell would say it was impossible. What a useless word, in a world with magic.”

This is the second installment in the Darker Shade of Magic series and it is my favorite. The magic battle was probably the part that I enjoyed the most (hehe). But Alucard Emery in this book just made me fall in love with him. As well as the other characters in this story. The minor plot twist that was revealed here took me by surprise since I never imagined that would happen in a million years.

The characters here were written much better and all-in-all this section of the plot in the series was my favorite in the whole series. It really interested me so much and it was just so wonderfully written.

The Darker Shades series really is different, especially how V.E. Schwab put a twist to the magic world and I loved how unique it was. Definitely a great book for YA Fantasy readers who want something very unique.
