A Darker Shade of Magic
An author that reminds me of Anne Rice with her in-depth and profound writing style, well-knitted web of intrigue, and characters whose evolution and discoveries beg for more.

This is the first book in a Fantasy trilogy.
Highlights
Schwab has a peculiar way of writing difficult to explain. It isn’t as light as many contemporary writers’, but that’s not a criticism. Instead, she adds depth to her story. Her books need to be digested, processed. All of that allows her to create a web of intricate characters, fantasy and suspense; Add on top, the emotions and values we get to navigate with them and their evolution throughout. It’s a combination of factors she is really good at mastering.
