Goodreads Description
Four months have passed since the shadow stone fell into Kell’s possession. Four months since his path crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months since Rhy was wounded and the Dane twins fell, and the stone was cast with Holland’s dying body through the rift, and into Black London. In many ways, things have almost returned to normal, though Rhy is more sober, and Kell is now plagued by his guilt. Restless, and having given up smuggling, Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila, who disappeared from the docks like she always meant to do. As Red London finalizes preparations for the Element Games—an extravagant international competition of magic, meant to entertain and keep healthy the ties between neighboring countries—a certain pirate ship draws closer, carrying old friends back into port. But while Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the Games, another London is coming back to life, and those who were thought to be forever gone have returned. After all, a shadow that was gone in the night reappears in the morning, and so it seems Black London has risen again—meaning that another London must fall.

A Gathering of Shadows is the sequel to ADSOM, A Darker Shade of Magic, and wow. ADSOM was fantastic and am so excited for A Gathering of Shadows! You have no idea how jealous I am of those of you with ARCS.
I'm probably going to need s reread of the first one, but I am stoked for Gathering!

ReplyDeleteI STILL haven't read the first one, clearly I've got my priorities all wrong Claire. Love hearing how fantastic a book is, that is by far the best reading recommendation there is from another blogger. I actually have a copy of book one and pushing it right up to TBR pile after my current read. Thanks so much for sharing <3
