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...
This was more like a 2.5 for me but I’m going to spend most of this review complaining. Felt like the main characters all lacked discernible personalities outside of half-broody mage and sarcastic pirate-wannabe, mostly just reacting to events. The ending felt anti-climatic, the Big Baddies came off as simply sadistic and then were quickly dispatched. Found the two paragraphs of chemistry between Lila and Rhy to be more compelling than her interactions with Kell. In spite of all that, it was very readable, and I zipped through it, but it felt like a lot of pages for a story I ended up not feeling particularly invested in ... #TeamHolland?
