I've been seeing this EVERYWHERE for months and when I found it in the charity shop I knew it was finally time to get reading. VE Schwab seems to be praised by everyone and I have to say I was very impressed with the world building of all the 'different' Londons that this world is built upon.

Since our protagonist Kell is not allowed to go much further away than London in each world (he's far too precious to the royals), the information given about the rest of the world is limited. I'm hoping that this is expanded upon in later books- I've got the second one from the library waiting to be read already.

I'm obviously in love with Kell: his chaos, his coat, and his black eye (literally) make for a very likeable character. I'm very excited to keep reading more of him even if the other characters didn't really resonate with me.
