A Conjuring of Light

Book: A Conjuring of Light
Series: Shades of Magic #3
Author: VE Schwab


THE BALANCE OF POWER HAS FINALLY TIPPED...
The precarious equilibrium among four Londons has reached its breaking point. Once brimming with the red vivacity of magic, darkness casts a shadow over the Maresh Empire, leaving a space for another London to rise.

WHO WILL CRUMBLE?
Kell - once assumed to be the last surviving Antari - begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties. And in the wake of tragedy, can Arnes survive?

WHO WILL RISE?
Lila Bard, once a commonplace - but never common - thief, has survived and flourished through a series of magical trials. But now she must learn to control the magic, before it bleeds her dry. Meanwhile, the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery of the Night Spire collects his crew, attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible.

WHO WILL TAKE CONTROL?
And an ancient enemy returns to claim a crown while a fallen hero tries to save a world in decay.-Goodreads


Review: A Conjuring of Light was a very good conclusion to a wonderful series. The biggest surprise was Holland. I really didn't care for him in the previous books and he was redeemed here. I loved how his storyline wrapped up. Throughout the series, Rhy definitely grew the most as a character and Alucard remained my absolute favorite of the entire series. Love him! I will say that there were several narrators here (like the king and queen) which seemed completely useless. I also wish we learned about Kell's parents (I understand he came to terms with who he was and didn't' care...but I cared!). 

Overall-very good book and great series. 

Grade: 4/5
