Shades of magic trilogy5/13/2023 ![]() There is something in each of the characters we can connect with: Holland’s resilience, Kell’s discipline, Rhy’s unflinching love, and Lila’s adaptability. ![]() I enjoyed this series immensely, and I hope to see more of the Londons and worlds in the future. Every character has meaning, and every scene has a purpose. As with Schwab’s other books, the Shades of Magic series is thoughtful, well-written, and without superfluous stuff. You see romantic love, familial love, love of country, love of self, and love of faith. Love is the strongest of all, and each character wrestles with it in some way. We see several themes in this book: duty, honor, faith, and love. Now, the Antari and the unassuming, non-magical thief from non-magical Grey London must work together to protect Red, White, and Grey London from being consumed by the magic which gave Black London its name. Those wrong hands may belong to Lila Bard, who pickpockets Kell’s magical coat while in Grey London. But, when a magical remnant of the long-fallen Black London finds its way beyond the doors sealing Black London off from the other three, Kell must ensure this remnant doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Kell, one of the last Antari, travels between three Londons: Grey, Red, and White. In this series, we meet an incredible cast of characters: Kell, Lila, Rhy, and Holland, and several additional essential players. ![]() Schwab kick, I recently completed the Shades of Magic trilogy: A Darker Shade of Magic, A Gathering of Shadows, and A Conjuring of Light. ![]()
