She’s a thief and a fighter, and her strength is a nice counterpoint for Kell’s ongoing panic most of the time. Then there’s Lila, she’s a headstrong young woman who seeks adventure. He’s got some angst going on, but on the whole he’s a nice rounded character with terrible luck. He’s young and reckless, but has an amazing moral compass and seriously tries to do what’s good. Let’s talk about the characters a little instead.įirst, of course, there’s Kell. I really don’t want to say any more about the story, because it’s just so good and I don’t want to ruin it for anyone. And Black London-where the magic took over and London fell. White London-a place where magic is controlled and death and blood run wild in the streets. Red London-which is where Kell is from and is a land of plenty with magic working side by side with people. Grey London-which is a place without magic, basically our London. To differentiate them, Kell calls them by colours. These worlds all have a London, but they’re all very different. Kell is one of very few people who can travel between the different worlds. This book follows the adventure of Kell, a magician from an alternate form of London he calls Red London. I’ll definitely be reading the rest of the series.Ĭlever was more dangerous than bad any day of the week. I’m so happy to say that it was just as amazing as everyone’s been saying.
