A Gathering of Shadows (Shades of Magic, #2)

Kell is one of the last magicians with the ability to travel between parallel universes, linked by the magical city of London.

The balance of magic is perilous, and for one city to flourish, another must fall...

The sequel to A Darker Shade of Magic, but not second best. AGoS equally matches ADSoM in strong prose, witty dialogue, action, suspense, and more. Because of this series, I know consider Victoria Schwab one of my favorite authors. I hope to emulate her writing in my own work. 3
