Four months have passed since the shadow stone fell into Kell's possession. Four months since his path crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months since Rhy was wounded and the Dane twins fell, and the stone was cast with Holland's dying body through the rift, and into Black London.

In many ways, things have almost returned to normal, though Rhy is more sober, and Kell is now plagued by his guilt. Restless, and having given up smuggling, Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila, who disappeared from the docks like she always meant to do. As Red London finalizes preparations for the Element Games-an extravagent international competition of magic, meant to entertain and keep healthy the ties between neighboring countries-a certain pirate ship draws closer, carrying old friends back into port.

But while Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the Games, another London is coming back to life, and those who were thought to be forever gone have returned. After all, a shadow that was gone in the night reappears in the morning, and so it seems Black London has risen again-and so to keep magic's balance, another London must fall.

4.5 (Muito bom)

o rito de passagem perfeito

se não me falassem que um tom mais escuro de magia tem continuação, eu jamais saberia. o final é perfeito e, apesar de não ser completamente fechado, serviria perfeitamente como um livro único.
já esse segundo livro, é um livro cotidiano. nada de grandioso acontece, a não ser nós nos apegarmos MUITO aos personagens. como eu disse, a fantasia ficou em maior parte no livro 1, e aqui acompanhamos o dia a dia de todos e criamos um vínculo bem mais forte.
kell, lila, rhy e lucard. HOLLAND. sério, eu amo cada um deles e só os conheço há dois dias, eh sério
to mto ansiosa pro terceiro mas não quero dar adeus tão cedo :(
