Continue V. E. Schwab's New York Times bestselling Shades of Magic series with A Conjuring of Light, now in a beautiful collector's edition.
The precarious equilibrium among the 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. 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.
Meanwhile, the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery and the Night Spire crew are attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible, as an ancient enemy returns to claim a crown and a fallen hero is desperate to save a decaying world...

We learn more about Holland and Alucard through flash backs and I loved learning how Holland came to be who he is. Alucard started slowly growing on me. As did Lila, kind of at least. She’s still too arrogant and reckless but bit less than before. I didn’t want to hit her all the time so that’s progress… Rhy has grown up and become more ready to be a king. Kell has learned that he still has a lot to learn about magic. I was hoping we would have learned more about his past and it was so close.
I don’t know what more to say. I can’t believe the series ends here! I thought this was a good ending but there were some loose ends that I keep hoping that someday there will be more books.

With that said... I have to admit that at first I wasn't enjoying this book very much: I thought some chapters were merely fillers and I was convinced the series could have been easily written as a duology. The only thing that kept me interested was Holland, who's probably the best character I've read so far this year.
After 75% though the story finally begins to become interesting and important and I absolutely LOVED the ending, which is why I decided to give this book 4 stars, even though the story don't deserve such a high rating.
Anyway, I'll miss this series, it was really enjoyable!
