V.E. Schwab
Shades of Magic Trilogy
A really quite interesting world set in several Londons. That is, a London exists in 4 different worlds, with 4 different levels of access to magic. In the past, doors were open between the worlds and people could travel between them. But then bad things happened in Black London, and the doors were sealed. Now only the Antari can make doors, and there are only two Antari left. Kell (who belongs to the royalty in Red London where magic is ubiquitous and good) and Holland (who belongs to the royalty in White London where all magic is used to acquire power). Kell meets up with small time thief Lila in Grey London (where magic no longer exists) and the two of them become embroiled in a magical thriller to save all London from the evil of Black. A nice world that Schwab has created and probably Lila is my favorite character, so hoping she becomes the prime protagonist in book 2
3 stars (out of 4)
