Kell is one of the last magicians with the ability to travel between parallel universes, linked by the magical city of London. It has been four months since a mysterious obsidian stone fell into his possession and he met Delilah Bard. Four months since the Dane twins of White London fell, and the stone was cast with Holland's dying body back into Black London.Now Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila. And as Red London prepares for the Element Games-an international competition of magic-a certain pirate ship draws closer. But another London is coming back to life. The balance of magic is perilous, and for one city to flourish, another must fall...
I don’t read much YA, and even less YA dystopia, but I think the whole premise of games is a big thing. Apparently? Maybe? Or did I just hear “Hunger Games” a whole lot?
Anyway. This one is all about a big games. And I really don’t care. It just feels like filler, lacking the intrigue and otherworldliness of the first book. I lost interest in Kell and Lila (grrrrr, LILA) because they’re just… playing games. Moping around. Making dumb choices. Games. Yay?
Four stars to whatever book Rhy was in, though, because I would read that one. And I’ll read the next one, if only to see if it can ruin Rhy for me too, or redeem the rest. (Grrrrr. Lila.)
