A Conjuring of Light: A Novel (Shades of Magic, 3)

Witness the fate of beloved heroes and notorious foes in the heart-stopping conclusion to V.E. Schwab's New York Times bestselling Shades of Magic trilogy.

*Kirkus' Best Fiction of 2017*

As darkness sweeps the Maresh Empire, the once precarious balance of power among the four Londons has reached its breaking point.

In the wake of tragedy, Kell--once assumed to be the last surviving Antari--begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties. 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.

An ancient enemy returns to claim a city while a fallen hero tries to save a kingdom in decay. Meanwhile, the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery of the Night Spire collects his crew, attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible.

Didn’t love this one as much as the others maybe 3.5 instead but that’s perhaps because I overdosed on the last two reading them back to back in two weeks.

This book filled in many of the holes in the backstory of the characters - particularly Holland who I came to like a lot.

The entire series is absorptive and transportive. Enjoyed it and would recommend it if you want something completely different and away from this world.
