She truly can weave and craft paragraphs together so expertly and I’m constantly impressed with her writing. The way she echoes phrases from different books, or even sentences from previous chapters, is so powerful and is able to evoke all the emotions from me. Some are good, some are bad, but they all have a cost.”Īnd even the idea of four different color coded Londons, with a handful of magical people who can travel between them, is so damn genius that I don’t even have words for it. “Life isn’t made of choices, it’s made of trades. But with the help of a ruthless thief/assassin, Lila Bard, a swoon-worthy pirate, Alucard Emery, the best prince to have ever lived, Rhy Maresh, and a very morally grey Antari, Holland Vosijk, they are trying to save everything they’ve ever known and loved. It is essentially a lost city, since regular people cannot travel between worlds.Īnd after the brutal cliffhanger ending that was A Gathering of Shadows, A Conjuring of Light picks right back up after the events! And without saying anything too spoilery, since this is the concluding novel and all, our main character, Kell Maresh, and his home, Red London, are in serious danger. ➽ Black London – and is still basically a mystery. Everyone in this London tries to fight for magic and power within this corrupt city. It was ruled by evil twins, but now has a new king. ➽ White London – is a city in war with itself. There is an abundance of magic in this London, most coming from a red river which lights up the whole city.

➽ Red London – is the home of the main protagonist, Kell, where he and his royal family rule. ➽ Grey London – is like our real world’s London, with no magic. One of my favorite books of all time is the most character driven thing out there, but for some reason I just don’t love this series like everyone else does.Ī Conjuring of Light is the third and final novel in this trilogy that surround four different parallel Londons: And every year I enjoy what I’m reading, I close the book pretty pleased, and then I sit down to write my review and start thinking about how these are such big books with so little happening. I have read one book in this series every year for the BooktubeSFF Awards. But the only way to avoid loss is to avoid love. The more we love, the more we have to lose.

“Love and loss,” he said, “are like a ship and the sea.
