A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic, #1)A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a straightforward adventure tale with magic in it and I found the story and a few main character enjoyable. The only slight demerit is that the rules of magic are pretty arbitrary and ultimately these arbitrary magic rules determine the outcome so that's a little less than satisfying.

It also feels like the story was supposed to be harder to resolve, but the author got tired of writing. Of course, there are sequels to this book, which I will probably read, and they might resolve this feeling.
