A Darker Shade of Magic Review:
A Darker Shade of Magic is the first book in the Shades of Magic series. The book begins the plot of the series with a bang. It introduces us to the characters that, for some of us, will be our favorite characters from any adult fantasy series. Kell is the protagonist in the story who is one of the last Antari. Antaris are magicians and have special abilities like traveling between parallel Londons; a form of time travel.
In this universe, London exists in multiple parallel universes. These parallel universes are named Red, White, Grey, and Black London. While the first three Londons are existing right now, the Black one is a history, however, with a deeper connection to the story. As for our protagonist Kell, she was born and raised in Red London and serves as the ambassador of the Empire.
Besides her official job, Kell secretly works as a smuggler and this is where most of the adventure in this series happens. It’s a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand. After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. To read the complete story, download A Darker Shade of Magic Pdf at the end.
