The Fragile Threads of Power by V. E. Schwab
After the battle for control of the four Londons and Kell's loss of his powers, Kell and Delilah have roamed the world in her ship, returning regularly to visit Red London where Kell's brother Rhy is now king. The city is thriving with peace, prosperity and magic. But not everyone is happy with that, and a group calling themselves The Hand are working to sabotage the peace of the kingdom. Meanwhile, in White London, magic is dying out and the new queen is desperate to restore magic to her kingdom.
A return to the world of Schwab's beloved Shades of Magic trilogy, with a new story line featuring many of the beloved and despised characters from that series. The White London sections are less interesting than the Red London plot line, but I am assuming the author is setting up another book focused on White London. The audiobook is narrated by four different narrators which helps to differentiate the various threads and POV's. It would be helpful to read at least the first book in the trilogy before tackling this one to get an idea about the characters. Recommended for readers of high fantasy.
