One-Sentence Summary:
Finale to the Shades of Magic series with a great deal of possession and punching.
My Review:
Well then. From page one on, I was first and foremost hurt. The unnecessary harm to my favorite characters was cruel, but at the same time made me even more invested in the story. I wish there was a little more romance but this series was never for romance. I did like Kell a bit better in A Conjuring of Light, but I still love Holland, Rhy, and Alucard the most.
As a finale, I thought that this book was amazing. I think in terms of my favorites Shades of Magic book, this would pull ahead of A Darker Shade of Magic. I didn’t completely love the ending, mainly because Alucard never killed his human pile of sh*t of a brother (which I don’t consider a spoiler), but it was certainly satisfying.
This definitely channeled the heartbreak, intensity, and importance of a finale. I really don’t know if I’ll be reading the Threads of Power books when they’re released because I don’t like things getting opened back up after being closed in a satisfying way, but I’ll be missing the characters until then. I commend V.E. Schwab, and while I wouldn’t consider this one of my favorites series, it was certainly a good one.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5.
