Summary
Long-listed, Barnes and Noble Best New Books of the Year 2023
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.

No less than expected
I would expect no less than a masterpiece from Victoria Schwab. Wasn’t disappointed. A truly amazing continuation of the narrative.

Not sure if I'd go with Audiobook for this one
I liked the book, but the narrators' voices felt much older than the actual characters, so it felt very weird.

Interesting new series
Great story with new characters and I was thoroughly lost in the story as usual with VE Scwab's books. Two of the readers were engaging but the third reader often made me wonder why the need for the great rush of her words. I found the rush of word slightly off putting

Solid story but didn't enjoy the new third narrator.
Continuing from the previous trilogy the storyline is compelling and well developed. Kramer and Reading continue to do an excellent job but the third narrator I found very difficult to listen to; she has a frantic and erratic cadence which randomly speeds up so that it sounds like you're listening at 2x playback. Not a welcome addition in my opinion.
