Shades of Magic Readalong with V. E. Schwab

Welcome to the Shades of Magic Readalong! This podcast actually started on Youtube as a way to help readers catch up on the Shades of Magic Trilogy before the release of The Fragile Threads of Power. In this readalong I will cover sections of the books in each episode, giving an overview of the plot as well as some inside info into the writing process.

Ready for a peek at my new book? In this bonus episode I read aloud the chapter before the first chapter (let's call it the 0 chapter) of The Fragile Threads of Power. Best listened to right after the entire readalong because it picks up right where A Conjuring of Light ends!


NOTE- This episode might sound a bit different because we lost some sound files on a failed hard drive. Hope you can still enjoy it!

This week we cover A Conjuring of Light parts 8-10. So much Holland backstory, Lila gets in a bit too deep, and something is revealed about The Fragile Threads of Power!


NOTE- This episode might sound a bit different from the others and that is because we lost some audio files on a hard drive that failed... Hope you can still enjoy it!
