   A Darker Shade of Magic

   Hey (book) lovers! This week we’re discussing A Darker Shade of Magic by the incredibly talented, V.E. Schwab. Take our word for it when we say that a story of multiple Londons, a mysteriously multi sided coat, and with perilous magic and treachery at every turn, makes for a great episode! Side note: Not everyone on the team loved this book but after a solid 50 minutes of persuasion it seems this one may have narrowly escaped a spot on the DNF list!!
