Resumen del Editor
Kell is one of the last Travelers - magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel universes. As such, he can choose where he lands. There's Grey London, dirty and boring, without any magic, ruled by a mad King George. Then there's Red London, where life and magic are revered, and the Maresh Dynasty presides over a flourishing empire. There's White London, ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne. And once upon a time, there was Black London...but no one speaks of that now.
Officially Kell is the Red Traveler, personal ambassador and adopted prince of Red London, carrying the monthly correspondences between the royals of each London. Unofficially Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see - a dangerous hobby and one that has set him up for accidental treason.
Fleeing into Grey London, Kell runs afoul of Delilah Bard, a cutpurse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then saves him from a dangerous enemy and then forces him to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure.

Historia
It's been 297 days since David died - and came back. He may have survived the avalanche, but the aftermath has been far worse. His wife moved out, taking his son with her, and a devastated David hasn't left his house since, terrified of the mysterious new power that followed him home from the ill-fated expedition. After months in seclusion, David's ready for a fresh start, and ventures out, determined to keep his power in check. But David's power isn't the one he needs to worry about.

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.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history.

Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle.

Everyone dreams of marrying a prince - except for me. I am nothing more than a pawn in my adoptive mother's diabolical plot against the seven kingdoms. I was the chosen tool, her sharpened blade that would cut the deepest into the heart of the kingdom of Baist. But like all deadly weapons, my wedding is two-edged sword that could cost me my soul. For I am Rosalie, one of the adopted daughters of Lady Eville, and it is my duty to enter into a loveless and hate-filled marriage with the narcissistic Crown Prince of Baist.

So when auditions to become a member of The Left Hand - the Queen's personal assassins - are announced, Sal jumps at the chance to infiltrate the court and get revenge.

But where there is light, there must be darkness - and so there was also the Iskari. The child of blood and moonlight. The destroyer. The death bringer. These are the legends that Asha, daughter of the king of Firgaard, has grown up learning in hushed whispers, drawn to the forbidden figures of the past. But it isn't until she becomes the fiercest, most feared dragon slayer in the land that she takes on the role of the next Iskari.

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.

Le nôtre est gris, sans magie d'aucune sorte. Celui de Kell, rouge–on y respire le merveilleux à chaque bouffée d'air. Le troisième est blanc : là, les sortilèges se font si rares qu'on s'y tranche la gorge pour une simple incantation. Le dernier est noir, noir comme la mort qui l'a envahi quand la magie a dévoré tout ce qui s'y trouvait, obligeant les trois autres à couper tout lien avec lui.

The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Deep and versatile world
(as posted on Goodreads)
I read a few view this book – made by a well-known and experienced fantasy book reader and reviewer, and mostly said that the overall plot was derivative and old. I, not being a well read and well known reviewer did NOT find it derivative and old!
I started reading this back in (April?), and it didn't really grab me. I restarted it in December, and it really DID grab me. Perhaps it's just my lack of experience with fantasy books, but it really seemed fresh and haunting! I like that there were no hanging threads at the end, except that there definitely is room for sequels and continuances. Now I have to get the next book in the series; I really am curious as to what happens with the world and the characters!

Amazing narrator, mediocre story
I really enjoyed it until about Chapter 67/75, then, in my opinion, the characters started acting very irrational (bad guys included) and the plot felt really forced. I hear the second book is better, and I'm looking forward to it - mostly because of the narrator. Can Steven Crossley just narrate my life?? If I could give more than 5 stars for his performance, I would.

Great Worldcraft
This is a YA fantasy set in parallel worlds where magic works. I liked this book, and I will be reading the next in the series someday. The worldcraft knocked my socks off. Schwab has developed the mechanics of the magic- and its limitations and its social implications and its true nature. It has sensuous details: Balanced magic smells like cut flowers, power magic fades out colors, and each parallel world has its own distinct miasma.
The characters worked well and held my interest, but they won't follow me into my dreams. There are two sufficiently complex characters working out a relationship while solving a rather interesting problem, and a genuinely complex villain.
Pacing almost ruined this book. If this book were not a gift from a friend, I would not have finished it. When I hit the wall, I made a list of characters so that I could keep track of those I did not care enough about to remember. Later on, though, I realized I was following along just because I was hooked.
By the end of the book, I wanted to stay in this world and keep following these characters.
The audio performance made the book better. An important character, Kell, was voiced in a way that was at odds with his description, but otherwise it was flawless.

take awhile
I read "the invisible life" first and loved it so I tried this one. It took much longer for the book to catch my attention but once it did it really had a hold on me. This narrator was much harder to understand but I'm sure that's just the accent. I'll definitely be buying more of this Authors books!

Upset that I wasted a credit on this audiobook.
I had to stop the audiobook at chapter 11 because I couldn't tolerate the narrator. He speaks at such an even pace that my mind wants to tune it out and I have to struggle to pay attention. He also does that thing where he tries to do a starkly different voice and accent with each character, but he's not a competent voice actor. He does that thing I really hate where a man will put on a high, airy voice for female characters that just makes them sound vapid. As a narrator, I want to hear the story in his natural voice, not his strained and poorly executed impression of a vaguely French-sounding woman.
The story itself seems very good. I like the world building the author does and her detailed descriptions of the different Londons. I'm going to have to buy the books and read them rather than listen to them.

Magic, action, strong characters, strong enemies
I loved this book and loved even more that there wasn't a crap load of romance and pining over one another like most annoying books about magic. Strong story and characters with a hint of humor and heartbreak.
