This book. I am dying to read this book. I read A Darker Shade of Magic just two weeks ago, and I loved it so damn much. It was so exciting and different and oh so good. I think this sequel sounds all kinds of perfect. The summary is goooorgeous. But I am so worried too. I hope that Kell and Lila will end up together. Because they are both perfect. And I ship them so badly. Ack. Just worried there might be a triangle coming. I think not, but you never know. Either way, I do know that I will love this sequel :D And oh my gosh. These covers! It is the US cover. And the UK cover. And they are both perfection. Oh so gorgeous. I love them both! And Lila is on both :D I love her so much. Sniffs. Yeah. These covers are awesome. I cannot wait to own them both. <3 Also, Victoria is all kinds of awesome. You should all go follow her. And read her books if you haven't yet. <3 There isn't possible to pre-order this book yet, but adding links below to where they will show up, sometime :) Just, oh. I cannot wait for A Gathering of Shadows. Wishing it was out sooner than February 23rd 2016. The wait is going to be torture. Ack! But, thankfully, the book will be over five hundred pages, and that is well worth the wait, I think :D It shall be all kinds of epic. And I am dying to read this book. So much. <3 What do you think of these two covers?
Four months have passed
since the shadow stone fell into Kell’s possession. Four months since
his path crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months since Rhy was wounded
and the Dane twins fell, and the stone was cast with Holland’s dying
body through the rift, and into Black London.
In many ways,
things have almost returned to normal, though Rhy is more sober, and
Kell is now plagued by his guilt. Restless, and having given up
smuggling, Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking
only to think of Lila, who disappeared from the docks like she always
meant to do. As Red London finalizes preparations for the Element
Games—an extravagant international competition of magic, meant to
entertain and keep healthy the ties between neighboring countries—a
certain pirate ship draws closer, carrying old friends back into port.
But
while Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the
Games, another London is coming back to life, and those who were thought
to be forever gone have returned. After all, a shadow that was gone in
the night reappears in the morning, and so it seems Black London has
risen again—meaning that another London must fall.
Oh how lovely! Bah. I need to find my copy. :(
ReplyDeleteWow, these covers are just so gorgeous! I still need to read ADSoM - I've heard such great things. I just need there to be romance, heh.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, love!
These covers are seriously just getting more and more gorgeous--and for once I love the US and UK covers equally! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing these, Carina!
ReplyDeleteThe wait is indeed gonna be torturous!! And I'm gonna need both the US & UK edition of these books for sure! I cannot wait till we can at least preorder it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing them and putting them all together Carina, I don't tire of looking at the pretties all together!
I'm pretty much screaming over here about this book. I LOVED the first one so much and I'm DESPERATE for this one. The covers are GORGEOUS TOO. I love that this one has Lila on it!!
ReplyDeletethese covers are just so beautiful! Very unique and interesting. I haven't picked up a darker shade of magic but it is definitely on my TBR. I might just wait for the sequel to come out before reading it. I hate waiting on books XD
