V. E. Schwab’s writing style is characterized by its economy of language and its focus on story over style. She has a knack for getting to the heart of a scene or character with a few well-chosen words, and her prose is often stripped down to its essentials in order to keep the reader focused on the story. This approachable style makes her novels easy to get into and hard to put down.

The A Darker Shade of Magic is a special type of magic that allows users to create and control shadows. This magic is unique to the user and can be used for a variety of purposes, including creating illusions, hiding in plain sight, and even manipulating the physical world.
