It was basically if the Essen Tasch had blood-bending and I liked it
3.5This was a really great start to a graphic novel series! I only wish it were longer, tbh. I can't wait for more!!
V.E. Schwab has penned a graphic novel about Maxim Maresh, one of the ancillary characters from The Shades of Magic series.I was very excited to read this. The tidbits Schwab dropped about Maxim in the trilogy were enticing. We learned he had a storied past. He fought notable outlaw figures. Somehow he developed an extraordinary control of his powers, which others had not been able to mimic.Under his reign, a certain magician opened the doors between the worlds to act as emissaries and messenger...
“Here, our story begins…” I read the entire A Darker Shade of Magic trilogy, and I ended up giving them all three stars. I am absolutely obsessed with Victoria’s mind and worlds, and her characters are truly some of the best I’ve read, but the plot and events always held me back from completely loving them. But when I found out we were going to get to learn more about Rhy’s father (adoptive father of Kell) and the events that lead him to being King, I knew I couldn’t resist. But here
Rating: 4.5 starsI wish this was a little longer, I just want more!
The art took some getting used to but it picked up FAST. I absolutely loved learning more about Maxim, and this made me realize how much I desperately need a reread of ADSOM! YAY!
This was fun :) The art was beautiful and we get to explore the character we already knew and loved from ADSOM. That being said, if you did not read ADSOM this will probably be quite disappointing, but I assume this is largely targeted for the fandom. It felt a bit like a 'bonus' episode of a show you liked. Not in a bad way at all, but I cannot rate it higher than a 3.5 stars as I don't think this would stand by its own. The story was a little cute adventure that's significant but only to the r...
This Review ✍️ Blog 📖 Twitter 🐦 Instagram 📷A Darker Shade of Magic ★★★★A Gathering of Shadows ★★★A Conjuring of Light ★★★★★Shades of Magic Vol 1 ★★★★ As you can see from the above ratings, the Darker Shades of Magic series had its ups and downs but I loved the conclusion and since the Steel Prince was mentioned there, I wanted to know who that is and how he came to his position in that series.★ I love graphic novels and I do read a few of these every year because I mostly spend my reading time o...
I honestly don't love the art for this, especially when it comes to close-ups of faces and fight scenes, and I also didn't find the story particularly thrilling 🙈
I was so curious to try this graphic novel series since I really loved A Darker Shade of Magic! This is a prequel, set maybe 30+ years from ADSOM, and centres around Rhys' father, Maxim -- aka the Steel Prince. His interest in the other Londons is disapproved of by his father who sends him to a dead-end town to serve for a while and humble him. But Maxim is basically your ultra Gryffindor and he immediately finds people to save. He ends up meeting a wicked Pirate Queen who he has to figure out h...
20gayteen has been beautiful, but can we talk about 20Schwabteen? Returning to Red London for a new adventure WATERED my CROPS and I am THRIVING out here. As you all know, Shades of Magic is my main personality trait lately, god bless. It's so exciting to have something new to consume instead of fixating on the same 3 books over and over again. (NOT that there's anything wrong with that, okay?)Honestly, I was initially disappointed that Victoria Schwab created a new 2018 Shades of Magic series—a...
#1: 3/5. Honestly, this was. nothing special? seemed way too short somehow. definitely not enough content for me to form an actual opinion. but hey, it’s only the first issue and I’m just so happy to be back in my favorite universe! excited for more.#2: 5/5. HELL YEAH! That’s more like it. The writing is so unmistakably Schwab, I’ve felt somewhat. homesick? reading this. I love Arisa and Isra’s characters. Soooo pumped for more.#3: 5/5. EPIC! Major Avatar: The Last Airbender vibes! A great examp...
"you're not my type.""let me guess, you don't like royals.""i don't like men."hello isra owns my whole heart.
Set in the years before SHADES OF MAGIC, the young, arrogant prince Maxim is sent to a violent coastal city, where he teams up with a band of unconventional soldiers to face pirates, forbidden magic, and all manner of things.
I mean I liked it and it was good. I don’t generally read graphic novels but I had this one and I just finished the Darker Shade of Magic trilogy so I thought I would try it. It’s honestly a pretty contained story with very little world building and exposition and everything just happened so quickly? Or maybe that’s just me as graphic novels are much easier to fly through compared to an actual novel. I had fun, really liked Isra’s character and everyone else was fine. 6/10
