Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of A Daily Rhythm. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too
You would think that I would have finished less-than-400-page book in a week, but the truth is, I didn’t get a huge amount of reading done over the past week, so I’m still in the middle of A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab. It has quite a slow pace, but that works for the story. I’m really loving the world building, and I think I’m actually getting rather attached to the main character, Kell.
Lila gave him a derisive glare and fondled the stone. “Oh, no,” she said. “I’m just getting started.”
Technically three sentences, but I’m counting the dialogue all as one. 😛
Here is the GoodReads page, if what you read here intrigues you and you want to find out more.

I’ll see you all tomorrow!

That’s a really enjoyable teaser and I LOVE the cover! Are you enjoying it?

I am! It took a little while to get into, which I think is why it took me nearly a week to read the first 100 pages, but now it’s got going and I’m really enjoying it. And yeah, the cover is pretty gorgeous.

Haha, not really. Though she does realise soon after that she shouldn’t play with magic she doesn’t understand.

I know what you mean about finding reading time. Dreadful when chores get in the way – not so bad if it’s fun stuff though. 🙂

It was a bit of both for me this week. Though trying to get the house to a fit enough state that I can go away for a long weekend this week did definitely contribute to it.
Thanks for stopping by!

It seems to be the one everybody’s talking about this year! It does start a little slow, but I’m into the flow now, so it’s good.

I like the Teaser, even though I rarely read books that include magic. It sounds like you’re enjoying this story.

I love books about magic and with strong world building. This sounds like a good one!

I’d say so! I knew a bit about the world already because a friend had described the book to me in a fair bit of detail, but if I was going into it fresh, it would be unfolding in a really nice way.

It’s funny … I follow her on Twitter and think she’s absolutely amazing … and have yet to actually read one of her books (though I have a couple of her early ones in my Kindle app)! I need to remedy this!
