V. E. Schwab er en fænomenal forfatter! Alt ved det er er godt! Bare ærgeligt at man ikke kan lytte til resten af serien her 😢

A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC, is the incredible first instalment of the Shades of Magic series, from #1 New York Times bestselling author V.E. Schwab.
Most people only know one London; but what if there were several? Kell is one of the last Travelers—magicians with a rare ability to travel between parallel Londons. There's Grey London, dirty and crowded and without magic, home to the mad king George III. There's Red London, where life and magic are revered. Then, White London, ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne. But once upon a time, there was Black London...
"A Darker Shade of Magic has all the hallmarks of a classic work of fantasy. Schwab has given us a gem of a tale..."- DEBORAH HARKENESS

Jag gillar boken men tycker inte uppläsaren gör karaktärerna rättvisa.

I loved the story but was not keen on the narrator. Looking forward to reading the next part

An okay start to a fantasy series. But not as epic or unforgettable as I had wished for. I think I miss more characters, more world-building, descriptions and dialogues. Might listen to the next book though and see if it gets better.

As a rather picky fantasy-reader I must say I really loved this book! Well-written, exciting and unpredictable. The characters were very well developed and really came to life through the amazing narration! 5/5

Bra karaktärer, bra uppläsare men stundom lite förvirrande när man inte kan gå tillbaka och kolla saker!

Vill ge 1 stjärna eftersom Storytel bara har en del av trilogin.. bra att veta innan man lägger tid på den. Men, det är boken som ska rescenseras. Riktigt bra! Härliga miljöer, bra mystik som får en att vilja veta mer, bra story och ganska unik(utifrån mina preferenser). Inte världens bästa uppläsare men helt ok

Boring protagonist and not a lot of development

Super well written and an interesting and unique concept. I wish I could give it a 4,5 star and not just 4, but I can’t justify 5 stars. It still feels like it has room for improvement, but not it’s so enjoyable that I binged this in less that a day. Absolutely worth it!

I have been meaning to read this series for as long as I knew about it, but I'm glad I started with it now. I was not disappointed. .The world-building in this novel is top-notch, with each of the four parallel Londons (Red, Grey, White, and Black) being distinct and well-realized..The characters are well-developed, especially the two main characters, Kell and Lila, who are both likable and relatable in their own way..At first, I was surprised that I didn't immediately take a liking towards Lila's character as much as I did Kell's, but eventually, she really grew on me. .Schwab does an excellent job of developing her characters over the course of the book, and by the end, I found myself rooting for her just as much as I was for Kell..One thing I couldn't help but notice was the similarities between Kell's coat with that of "Greatcoat". This added an extra layer of familiarity to the story, making me feel as though I had stumbled upon an old friend.
