Not an easy thing to manage when walking outside could potentially turn you into the puppet of an evil being. But he’s not the only one in trying to take London: Rhy has to deal with some political adversaries trying to take advantage of the situation so as to overrun his kingdom. We learn a whole lot more about the nature of this villain, his motivations and powers. She, Kell and Holland are the world’s best bet to win against Osaron. With the major discovery at the end of A Gathering of Shadows pertaining to Lila’s magic, the world is really turned upside down. And she has got to learn to master her skills fast, since there’s no time to train her properly. Together, they have to find a way to trap Osaron and put everything back in place. All with the help of one surprising ally: Holland. The book is as fast paced as the first novel, maybe even more so: it’s the end of the world, in simple terms, and our beloved Kell, Lila, Alucard and Rhy are trying to hold it together.
I could not have asked for a more fitting and beautiful ending to this stunning series. Meanwhile, the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery of the Night Spire collects his crew, attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible.Īnd an ancient enemy returns to claim a crown while a fallen hero tries to save a world in decay.
But now she must learn to control the magic, before it bleeds her dry. Lila Bard, once a commonplace – but never common – thief, has survived and flourished through a series of magical trials. And in the wake of tragedy, can Arnes survive? Kell – once assumed to be the last surviving Antari – begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties. Once brimming with the red vivacity of magic, darkness casts a shadow over the Maresh Empire, leaving a space for another London to rise. The precarious equilibrium among four Londons has reached its breaking point. Witness the fate of beloved heroes – and enemies. * Review spoiler free for A Conjuring of Light, but if you haven’t read the rest of the series you might want to stop here* Followers of my instagram and tumblr have been hearing me rant and rave about how excited I was for it to finally come out, and now that I’ve read it, I desperately wish for someone I can blabber on about it with. It’s safe to assume that if you’re looking to read it, it’s likely that you’re enjoyed (or, dare I say, devoured) the previous installments of the Darker Shade of Magic trilogy. There is so much I want to say about this book, yet so little that I can without giving it away.
