"Four months have passed since the shadow stone fell into Kell's possession. Four months since his path crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months since Rhy was wounded and the Dane twins fell, and the stone was cast with Holland's dying body through the rift, and into Black London. In many ways, things have almost returned to normal, though Rhy is more sober, and Kell is now plagued by his guilt. 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. As Red London finalizes preparations for the Element Games-an extravagant international competition of magic, meant to entertain and keep healthy the ties between neighboring countries-a certain pirate ship draws closer, carrying old friends back into port. But while Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the Games, another London is coming back to life, and those who were thought to be forever gone have returned. After all, a shadow that was gone in the night reappears in the morning, and so it seems Black London has risen again-and so to keep magic's balance, another London must fall"--… (more)

Not a bad book, but not a great sequel. Set up more world building and gave a lot of context, but difficult to get through and was pretty boring in some parts. ( )

I highly recommend the audio book. the split narration by a woman and a man made it that much better. It gets one star less for the cliffhanger ending, but otherwise was excellent ( )

4.75/5

The second part of the Darker Shades series delivered. An absolutely incredible story to take us into the final part of the trilogy. Leaving us on a cliffhanger that will only lead to me starting the next book the same day I finished this one.

I’m here for it. Go Lila. Go Kell. Can’t wait for part 3. ( )

Como que o Roland achou que esse plano ia dar certo? Juro por Deus. O final do livro me passou uma vibes meio o último filme do spider man do Miles Morales. Agora to curiosa pra ler o último livro ( )

Epigraph
Magic and magician must between them balance. Magic itself is chaos. The magician must be calm. A fractured self is a poor vessel for power, spilling power without focus or measure from every crack.
