I read it a while ago but I loved it. Now on the third which was released in February. I thought Lila was a great character.
Just about to start it but it looks interesting!
Not read it and having difficulty even with audiobooks at the moment, but the title sounds intriguing. Saying that, I'm not sure about the 'darker side'... hmm.
Started today! ^_^

This book is amazing and I love the style and the way it is written in. The whole story is greatly put together I am about to finish it soon and will read the sequel right after.
AMAZING thanks Victoria Schwab <3

Love love LOVE this book. I'm on the second one right now. A fantasy book hasn't peaked my interest as much as this book did in quite awhile.
I enjoyed this a lot. Let me know if the sequels are as good!
I've finished all three now. The last one is amazing. Such a shame I had to wait so long to read it. (I preordered it in January but only had time now because school is evil.)
Ugh I agree school is evil! It gets in the way of important reading!

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were vivid and well developed. My only critique is that it felt like a YA novel instead of a book written for adults. I'm not really complaining, I am not an adult yet, but I think that Victoria Schwab should stick to YA in the future. Lila and Kell seemed like they could fit in any of her other books.

I just finished it and really loved it! ♥ It didn't get boring for a minute. The worlds were very original and I loved the characters too. I also liked how magic worked in this book.
Yes, the magic was subtle enough to keep believability.
