The first installment in V. E. Schwab’s two-part story, A Gathering of Shadows is a gripping and imaginative read that touches on themes of family, friends and coming of age set in a world where shadows can be real, but they're not always good.
A Gathering of Shadows is a 'dark' book, in the sense that it speaks of human suffering in the darkest depths. But it's not just the dark tones that make this book an interesting read; the subject matter is what makes it unique. V. E. Schwab creates a world in which shadow creatures exist and control everything, causing humans to be at their mercy- if they don't do as they're told, they will die. The story follows one main character as she tries to recover her humanity amongst all of this chaos.
A Gathering of Shadows is the sequel to V.E. Schwab's previous novel, A Darker Shade of Magic. It follows the adventures of Kell, Rhy, and Alucard on their quest to stop the Shadow King from taking over London once more.
A Gathering of Shadows is a YA fantasy novel by V.E. Schwab and it was my first experience reading this author. The story takes place in an alternate reality where the shadow people, who can possess any human and do whatever they please to them, live with regular humans (called 'murdered ones'). This is a world that is constantly changing due to the constant war between the two groups.
Scout, Bobbin, and the other members of their ragtag band of littles are determined to keep their city free from the shadows - a deep darkness that is slowly devouring the land. When they stumble upon a shadow-witch, who is using their newfound power to take over Newcrest, they learn that things aren't always what they seem.
