Synopsis

Red London - a world of balance protected by magic Gray London - the cruel ordinary world White London - the representative of power, absolute control Black London—the source of magic destroyed by the plague and isolated from the world Hundreds of years ago, the door to and from the world in London was wide open, and the world was balanced and stable. However, the good times did not last long. Humanity's thirst for power, endless pursuit of magic, and the expansion of desire led to the fall of Black London, and the magic disappeared. People closed the door to travel and stopped moving forward, assigning the few remaining "travelers" selected by magic to shuttle through them and send messages through letters... Kyle, a member of the royal family in Red London, takes "traveller" as his duty, but always carries private goods and violates the rules, just to get proof of his self-worth; Laila, a lowly female snitch living in Gray London, has a dream of sailing, and wants to break the shackles of class and escape from Gray London. An unexpected theft closely tied the fates of Kyle and Laila. In order to return the stolen magic stone, they were killed and had to break a centuries-old taboo and embark on an escape journey across London...

Reader comments

How can I put it, after reading it, I felt a sense of loss, Laila's lost eyes, Holland's fate, the undercurrent of gray London, Kyle's life experience... These mysteries and regrets will always remain unfinished. Lila is undoubtedly the most attractive character in the book, and the mysteries and unknown possibilities surrounding her make it difficult to look away. And Kyle discovered her "Pandora's Box" and fell into the web woven by fate. To Kyle, Laila is a cunning and dangerous little thief who steals hearts and affections, an invincible knight who overcomes obstacles, and a free and unrestrained ship that never looks back, but she is not a princess in Cinderella's robe.

The plot of this book is engaging and reminds me of the Harry Potter series. The adventures of the main characters, Kyle and Lyla, are exciting and their characters are very distinct. Kyle breaks the rules to prove his worth, while Lyla longs to break away from class constraints. This pursuit of self-realization is relatable. The setting of the magical world in the book is also very interesting. Different Londons have different characteristics, making people feel like they are immersed in it. Looking forward to the development of the story later!

This is a seriously underrated novel that deserves a 9.5 Or higher. The protagonists and supporting characters who appear are all vivid, and occasionally have witty remarks. I didn't give full marks to King 🤴 and Lai dying one after another. It felt deliberate and inexplicable, and it felt like there was a lack of necessary foreshadowing. The others are pretty good and should be made into movies and TV series, but none have been found.

Is There Any Western Fantasy Type Where the Male Protagonist Is Noble, Elegant and Crushing in Strength?

I would like to read a book similar to "How to deal with over-positioned starting hands". Western fantasy, magic, profession, steam, industry, empire, war, academy, professor, gentleman, elegance, nobility, crushing, evil god, weird, that's probably it, no need to include them all
