Great book. Great series. Give me more.
The third book in the Shades of Magic series is just as good as, if not better than the previous books, which is saying something given I rated both books 5/5 stars.
A Conjuring of Light sees the powerful black magician / god, Osaron make his way into Kell's Red London with the single aim to take everything as his. He's an ambitious and crazy powerful villain who reads as being unstoppable despite powerful magicians Lilia, Alucard, Kell, and another unlikely Antari joining forces to rid Red London of his plague of persuasive power.
Few books, especially series-based books have that wow factor. Those moments which make you stop and really appreciate the craft, the plotting, the characters, basically everything. They are more than shock and awe moments and A Conjuring of Light has those in spades. I won't go into detail as to viod major spoilers but needles to say, there are great passages aplenty - fans of the series will not be disappointed.
My rating: 5/5 stars - I hope we see more of these characters. There's also so much potential to explore White, Gray and Black London in particular. Fingers crossed this isn't the last we've seen of the Antari.
