Podcasts by 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.
