#1 NYT bestselling author V.E. Schwab returns to the dazzling worlds of Shades of Magic with a fantastical, perilous, and intrigue-tangled new series-starter: The Fragile Threads of Power,with commissioned artwork of Kell and Lila by lasq.draws.

WHAT’S IT ABOUT

Once, the four worlds sat nestled like pages in a book, connected with fantastical power to a single city: London. But the magic pulsed. It grew too fast, and the doors between worlds were sealed in a desperate gamble at protection.

The few magicians able to open these doors grew rarer as time passed, and now only three are known in recent memory. Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk of White London have hardly been glimpsed for the last seven years. A new magician rises to claim the throne of White London: She is Kosika, who burns with religious fervor and will feed her city with blood, including her own.

And back in Red London, King Rhy Maresh is threatened by a rising rebellion, one that promises to correct the power by razing the throne entirely.

These two royals from very different empires face mirror struggles: Keep their crowns. Keep their heads. And amidst a tapestry of old friends and new enemies, a girl with unusual magic comes into possession of a device that could change the fate of all four worlds.

Her name is Tes, and she will bring the worlds together, or unravel it all.

2023 books a darker shade of magic by v.e. schwab (reread)

Magic was a living thing---that, everyone knew---but to Kell it felt like more, like a friend, like family. It was, after all, a part of him (much more than it was a part of most) and he couldn't help feeling like it knew what he was saying, what he was feeling, not only when he summoned it, but always, in every heartbeat and every breath. He was, after all, Antari.

I wonder if VE Schwab knows that Kell’s outfit when he’s Kay in my mind is literally just Westley from The Princess Bride. I wonder if she knows how much it plagues me.

I don’t care what anyone says, but

“There is nowhere you go,” said the Antari to her prince, “that I cannot follow.”

was an absolutely banger line that, now in CONTEXT, hurt me on a spiritual level

They make me so absolutely ILL

Thanks miss schwab

asdfg I can't, they're so sweet and perfect for each other. kell staying awake whenever lila is out, lila still trying to find a cure for him, him giving her a ring not to signify devotion, but for protection, and her secretly keeping it around her neck despite arguing that she didn't want it, lila teaching kell to fight now that he can't use his magic, lila abandoning the thrill of battle just at hearing him scream—they've been together for nearly a decade and I'm still hanging onto their moments like it's a first kiss. what a beautifully written relationship, what a wholesome romance, I'm absolutely in love with them and I could read 300 pages of them just being domestic
