I rlly want to start reading this book, but sadly, I can't seem to find it anywhere. My parents don't like purchasing books, because its hard to get them in now in the virus, so is it okay if I try to get from my local library, and get back to you on Saturday:)? I don't mean to cause any hassle!

I loved this book! It was an enjoyable fantasy novel with a unique storyline and setting, and great characters! The magic system and idea of worlds with parallel Londons was really fascinating to me.

I am liking this book so far but I just don't have time to read!

I found this book fascinating with entirely a new, unique setting! The Londons make the story special. But still, I thought the book lacked something. Maybe it was the lack of drama as the book reached the end.

I also loved the idea of multiple Londons, and I ended up giving the book 4/5 stars. I really want to read the rest of the books in the series!

Who was your favourite character? Mine would be Lila, I loved how quick-witted and courageous she was!

Same!! Lila is an interesting character. Quite the opposite of Kell.


Sylvs (NOVELty Reads) (noveltyreads) | 73 comments I loved this book more the second time reading than the first. It's super original and unique especially in terms of the different Londons and Kell's coat. I also liked how the magic systems worked in terms of how Grey London has no magic, Red London has magic, White London has corrupted magic and Black London has dark magic. I'm definitely going to read the sequel ASAP;)

I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I agree the magic systems are very creative and original. I’m also planning on continuing the series probably next month.
