Book description
Hey, you have to hear about the second book in the Shades of Magic series. I just finished the audiobook and I'm still buzzing from the sheer energy of it. V.E. Schwab (you know, Victoria Schwab, the same mind behind The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and the Villains series) throws us into a world that feels like a living, breathing map, one that's begging to be explored.
The story opens four months after a mysterious obsidian stone lands in the hands of Kell. Those same four months carry a weight that lingers: he's moved on from smuggling, yet he can't shake the dreams that whisper about dark, magical calamities. And then there's Delilah Bard, the charismatic thief who crosses his path again, and Prince Rhy, wounded, whose fate threads into the larger tapestry. It's a web of characters that feel both familiar and fresh, each pulling the plot toward a crescendo.
What really grabs you is the setting of Red London, a place that's gearing up for the Element Games. These games are not just spectacles; they're a crucial diplomatic dance that keeps neighboring realms united. The energy of the Games-colorful, competitive, full of magic-stands in stark contrast to the underlying tension of a second London stirring from the shadows. Schwab masterfully layers the jubilant pageantry with a looming threat: "a shadow that was gone in the night will reappear in the morning." The stakes are clear-one city's triumph could mean another's downfall.
As an audiobook, the narration makes this all feel even more immersive. The voices capture the grit of Kell's past, the cunning of Delilah, and the regal poise of Prince Rhy. Each scene is delivered with a pace that keeps you turning the page (or in this case, the track) because you're eager to know what happens next. The soundscape-though subtle-adds to the sense of a bustling port and the eerie quiet of the rift.
What's impressive is how Schwab balances the personal with the political. Kell's internal struggle about whether he's ready for this new world of responsibilities is just as compelling as the geopolitical chess game of the Element Games. The writing keeps you on your toes, making you feel like you're right there in the crowd, feeling the thrill of the competitions and the chill of the looming war.
If you're a fan of fantasy that blends high stakes, rich world-building, and dynamic characters, this audiobook is a must-listen. It's a perfect blend of adventure and intrigue, wrapped in Schwab's signature storytelling style. Trust me, you'll want to keep listening until the very last line.

ListenBook's dedication to delivering a top-notch experience is evident in every detail. I've found my new favorite narrator!
