A Darker Shade of Magic

This book ended so completely that it feels like a stand alone. The disjointed layout of the chapters and constant switching of characters made this a difficult book to fall completely into. I am too easily distracted. I ended up putting the book down more often than I wanted to. The story itself and the writing is fantastic, as per usual for this author, it was just the style and arrangement that messed me up. I love how plucky and cutthroat Lila is and how conservative, yet rebellious Kell is. The brotherly love was also great. I'm going to go straight into the next one, hopefully it will read more cohesively for my scattered brain.
