A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
5.0

Holy shit a second book in a series that's better than the first. I didn't think that was possible.

10/5/19

I stand by the above review for sure. I still absolutely think this is a stronger book than the first one. The character development here is great, and I really enjoyed seeing glimpses of Rhy and Alucard's past. The competition was fun but wasn't my favorite part of the story. I get that it was pretty much to make sure all of characters were together for the meat of the story.

Still, absolutely love all my favs - Kell and Lila. Didn't love the King and Queen, but I understood where they were coming from, even if I didn't agree with it.

Just yes to all of this! I'm sure I'll be re-reading it again and again and again.
