Über diesen Titel

Veteran narrators Michael Kramer and Kate Reading return to this fantastical world, along with a new POV portrayed by Marisa Calin.

"As the threads converge, all three narrators strive to remain as consistent as possible to each other's stylistic choices, creating a nearly flawless whole."- AudioFile

V. E. Schwab, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, opens another door to a new fantasy series set in the dazzling world of Shades of Magic.

Prepare for tangled schemes and perilous adventures with friends old and new in The Fragile Threads of Power.

Once, there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London. Until the magic grew too fast and forced the worlds to seal the doors between them in a desperate gamble to protect their own. The few magicians who could still open the doors grew more rare as time passed and now, only three Antari are known in recent memory—Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk, of White London.

But barely a glimpse of them have been seen in the last seven years—and a new Antari named Kosika has appeared in White London, taking the throne in Holland's absence. The young queen is willing to feed her city with blood, including her own—but her growing religious fervor has the potential to drown it instead.

And back in Red London, King Rhy Maresh is threatened by a rising rebellion, one determined to correct the balance of power by razing the throne entirely.

These two royals from very different empires now face very similar struggles: how to keep their crowns—and their own heads.

Amidst this tapestry of old friends and new enemies, a girl with an unusual magical ability comes into possession of a device that could change the fate of all four worlds.

Her name is Tes, and she's the only one who can bring them together—or unravel it all.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Books.

Great start into the new series. The book works well as a standalone story as well without too much of a cliffhanger ending so that the wait for the next one is hopefully bearable. The author actually takes the time to give us enough backstory for each character in many flashbacks from the last 7 years, which is a great improvement on the first series and works well to move on the story with enough plot without just seeming like background information. The new characters are great: full of potential for a new and exciting story and you really feel with them. Only slight criticism, is that the narrator for Tes’ parts speaks a lot faster than the others, so i couldn’t listen at 1.2x throughout. It would be good to align narration speed so that one doesn’t have to change speed every chapter. Still really worth listening to!

What a joy to be back in this world! Schwab‘s world building & magic system are unique and the characters are mostly lovable. I can’t wait to see how the story continues.
Personally, I didn’t absolutely love the narration, hence the 4 stars. Overall, a solid 4.5 stars for me!
