This time out we review A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab [Tor Publishing Group, 2015], the first book of the author's Shades of Magic trilogy. Our hero is a young magician who can travel between multiverses, and who comes into possession of a bit of terrible black magic in the form of a black stone. A thief from the London slums of the Regency Period promptly steals it and another magician pursues both of them to retrieve this bit of forbidden black magic.

Interesting Tally: 9
