You are the first dream of my soul.

so others have probably noticed the similarities too but I just had to get this out of my brain and put it here.

I have only read the first book of A darker shade trilogy and I can already see some similarities. Lin and Kell are about a rare type of species, she's Ashkar and he's Antari. Let's just forget for a moment that they both start with an A and focus on how only THEIR species could perform magic. Both of the characters need some talisman or another object to perform magic. Though Kell can conjure magic on his own, he still needs some thing to conjure specific magic for example jumping between the London's. I think there is also some magical objects that collectors collect but only the antaris could use them.

Now this is just the similarities between Lin and Kell. There is another main character that goes by the name of…. KEL. yep. Kel.

The official character synopsis

"Kel is an orphan, stolen from the life he knew to become the Sword-Catcher-the body-double of a royal heir, Prince Conor Aurelian. He has been raised alongside the prince, trained in every aspect of combat and statecraft. He and Conor are close as brothers, but Kel knows he has one destiny: to die for Conor. No other future is possible."

Kell and Kel are both orphans, they both grew up alongside a prince. Idk if Kell's destiny is to sacrifice himself for Rhys but I wouldn't be surprised bc the king of red London uses Kell to complete his tasks.

Thule is an alternate dimension and the the time there is after the timeline that the non thule characters (the timeline we are seeing in the books) are living in. Livia was older then the non thule Livia and if she appears in TWP she's gonna be around 20. I think Dru is still alive in thule bc livvy said that Dru left and never returned. We also have to remember that Thule Kit is still alive. Maybe the alternate dimensions of kit and dru will be evil. Though they will be a little older then the non thule kit and dru but i dont think that will matter much.
