by V.E. Schwab

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...

Boy, I wish I read this book sooner! I had tried to read this book twice before, once as an ebook, once physically (I literally started it the moment I got on the train after meeting Victoria). But somehow I just did not get past the first chapter. However, when I picked it for my TBR wheel I knew I had to read it. And it was a rollercoaster ride! I loved Kell, I loved Lila, I loved the setting and the writing, ahh I just loved everything! I will definitely be picking up the next book asap. You can hold me responsible if I don’t, honestly!
