It's a story to be savored and enjoyed in long, uninterrupted periods!
I loved this story, and V.E. Schwab is quickly becoming a fav author.
The other 2 books I've read of hers are The Archived and The Unbound, and I loved both of them.

Upon reread: Jesus, the positivity of this book. And it just gets better as the series progresses. So whimsical.
[self note] buy a paperback to annotate

Confession: I only picked up A Darker Shade of Magic because of the hype and because I had a credit on Audible. I don’t regret it.
Slow Beginnings
I had actually got this from the library but couldn’t get into it when I was reading. To be fair, I didn’t have a lot of time or try very hard.
