V. E. Schwab, V. E. Schwab, ve schwab: A Gathering of Shadows (2016, A Tom Doherty Associates Book) 4 stars

Four months have passed since the shadow stone fell into Kell's possession. Four months since …

A decent bit of light fantasy adventure.

On a par with the first. A mostly fun romp. Drags a little in the middle, and is marred for me by the occasional use of very modern turns of phrase which I find very distracting (e.g. someone in a regency-ish era London claiming they're good at "multi-tasking").
