Benjamin Asher reviewed A Gathering of Shadows by V. E. Schwab (Shades of Magic, #2)
Review of 'A Gathering of Shadows' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
This is going to be a very unpopular opinion but... this book is terrible.
As in, for the first time in 15 years I gave up mid book and mid series. No plot, characters I hated, a world that wasn’t developed and not even good writing. I got to the last chapter and realized I just didn’t care how it ended.
The first book showed promise and I started this one hoping it would be more fully developed. Not only did that not happen, it actually regressed in this installment.
