In my opinion the best thing of this book was Hastra, such a precious soul lol I would to see hin again in the next book

[scrollsofdragons]

I don't outright ship Lila and Kell, like I'm fine with it but I could do without it too but Alucard and Rhy, I am so down for, that bedroom scene, damn. It almost feels too obvious that Lila is an antari. I can't believe that there is only one book left.

The Essen Tasch reminded me more of Goblet of Fire than anything else tbh, and that is a BIG compliment because Goblet of Fire is one of my fave HP books. That being said, this book is everything and VE Schwab is a freaking genius

[nutshellreadsandwrites]

Yes Kell and Lila I also love how subtle Schwab writes their relationship it's tasteful enough to make you want it but not in your face.

I am so happy you loved this book! I wasn't too blown away by A Darker Shade Of Magic, but this book broke me, I love it so much and I am so excited for the third one.
I loved Rhy from the first book already, but seeing him struggle and have his character be developed further made me love him even more. I adore Kell and Lila, as individuals and as a couple, especially after this book. In the first one I was okay with them, but after this one I am so invested in them as a couple it's not normal.
Something I really adore about this series is Kell and Rhy's relationship, I just love these types of relationships so much (like in TID, Jem and Will are my happiness) and I think V.E.Schwab does such an amazing job with both characters and relationships.

I am so ready for the third book, I read A Gathering Of Shadows last April and I am about to lose my mind with worry for all my children.

GIRL I SHIP LILA AND KELL SO MUCH THEY ARE MY TREASURED BABIES

[teresamcwaters]

Your theory about Lila and her eye has me SHOOK. I never thought that much about her glass eye before omg

[ghk]

Kell / Ned OTP
I am so done with Kell and Lila and their life choices but Ned makes me so happy

[JuliSS]

I loved second book as much as first one, but the romance between Kell and Lila was my least favorite part (sorry, I know you like them together). I loved that in A Darker Shade of Magic there was zero romance (I'm not a big fan of love in books in general), I just wanted Kell and Lila to be platonic friends so much T_T

[trickytitle]

We book lovers need videos like this, I mean spoiler videos. Because My problem is I read a book, ABSOLUTELY love it! but have no one to speak about reader wants to talk about the book they these videos give you some satisfaction....Knowing how another reader thought about loved hearing about it, Thank you for the video

Kell is a precious smol bean that must be protected. Lila, while she is a wonderfully written character, I don't like her. Her "I'm Lila and can do what I want, to heck with the fallout to myself or anyone else" attitude irritated the daylights out of me. She's the opposite of Kell. He has overwhelming responsibility amd loyalty to the crown and Rhy, while Lila has loyalty to herself. And i don't like that.

[charlottespencer]

I feel like if I was a character in this series and would be Ned.

[shamomie]

I've seen a few people on youtube disregarding the AlucardxLila moment but like??? It's been made very clear that this is not a heteronormative series and Alucard and Rhy have both made it quite clear that they speak of 'lovers', not genders? I don't believe either of them are driven by gender? So why do people have so much gripe about the Alucard and Lila incident and saying that "he's gay so it's bullshit'? I just wish people would stop assuming Schwab's characters are one way or the other (#fuckbierasure #it'saspectrum) Please excuse my rant, love your reviews!

[stubbornlybookish]

I don't typically ship couples but man, I am down for Kell and Lila. Side note, has anyone read Schwab's acknowledgements from AGOS? Hilarious.

[carolineyalda]

The tournament reminds me of the tri-wizard from Harry Potter

[sierrapawanrat]

i feel like i'm the only person who doesn't like lila. i found myself being more annoyed by her than anything.

[laurenbastian]

I got major Legend of Korra vibes from the duels, rather than Throne of Glass... anyone else?

[hibak]

Great review, I love your enthusiasm about the series. Have you already made a discussion of A Conjuring of Light? I'm really interested to see your thoughts on it.

[RavenFirewind]

I completely feel you on everything said in this video--especially the not being okay part. 😂 I've been in Shades of Magic withdrawal for two weeks. As soon as the last book is out, I'm buying it. That cliffhanger is destroying me.

[TheLundraAlliance]

This series seems like a fun series to pick up. Lol "We can't all have nice things all the time." I can relate xD
