No one is more stunned by this rating than me. For a series in which I was neutral on the first book and hated the second, this is one of my favorite finales. ..... I am confusion. Pleasant confusion... but confusion...
“A myth without a voice is like a dandelion without a breath of wind.No way to spread the seeds.”Victoria Schwab is my favourite. I've read every one of her books, from The Archived to The Near Witch, This Savage Song and Vicious. Alright, not the middle grade/childrens books, but I feel like I'm a little too old for that.I love her. She is one amazing, badass author. She has such a beautiful mind, she writes the most fantastic, dark and thrilling stories. She is truly unique and I'm so excited
#1 A Darker Shade of Magic ★★★★★ #2 A Gathering of Shadows ★★★★★#3 A Conjuring of Light ★★★★★ I’ve been putting off writing this review for a month, which is about the same length of time I put off finishing the book itself, because I simply have not been prepared to say goodbye to this trilogy. Reading these three books has been one of the most emotional, anxiety-inducing, and genuinely magical experiences of my entire life. I have so much to say, with no idea how to express any of it. “Love...
WELL.This was an intense read, and I LOVED every moment of it (even when I was crying and in pain). A magnificent book and conclusion to a series. These characters have stolen my heart and run off with it. I don't mind, though.Thanks Red & Kassie for buddy reading with me and making this reading experience so magical <3
Worst Books of 2019 Video The Actual Review Rhy: I messed with magic. Nearly killed everyone. Actually, it's still killing everyone.Lila:Alucard: Respect your limitations.Lila:Kell: I've literally used magic my entire life and you've been at it for what, two months? This will literally kill you. Lila: I'm calling mom. Schwab: By the power of author, I grant thee the power to do anything sans consequences. The Actual Review : “Life isn't made of choices, it's made of trades. Some are
With ACOL hitting shelves this month, I guess it's time to finally mark it as read...I don't know what else to say, except I've never been prouder of a book, and I really hope my readers enjoy the end of this journey.
The reason I am giving this book a 2 stars is because I expected so much more from both this book & this series overall and I am not very satisfied with the development or the ending. Schwab had so much potential going into this series, but ultimately I find myself very let down.I honestly don't know how to review this book without spoilers and so from this point on there will be unmarked spoilers for the entire series. ***SPOILER ALERT TURN BACK NOW***I feel as though this final installment was...
As of now, this is the number one most overrated and worst trilogy that I've ever read so far. “Anoshe brought solace. And hope. And the strength to let go.” No need for Anoshe, I don’t need any additional strength to let go of this series. Let it be known here that I won’t be reading any more books written by VE Schwab. This is where I must part way with her works. Trust me it’s better for me to do this. For her fans, I’m happy that you love her series but you don’t want to see me ran...
NO FAULTS.AMAZING.I LOVED IT.IM CRYING.anoshe ANNNNOOOOOOOOSHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEi hope she does a spin off!
I.... don't know what to do with myself. I am so completely overwhelmed with emotions and so far past blown away... and now I'm trying to write a review for one of the greatest stories ever told. "Love and loss," he said, "are like a ship and the sea. They rise together. The more we love, the more we have to lose. But the only way to avoid loss is to avoid love. And what a sad world that would be." You guys... if you haven't picked up this series... start it now. As an aspiring author....
Reread January 2020: sometimes you reread a story, and you realize you’ve forgotten how absolutely fucking incredible it is. This is one of those times. If A Gathering of Shadows deserved 100+ stars, A Conjuring of Light deserves 10x that many. I have no words. This series is honestly my favorite out of everything I've ever read and I just want to reread the first one now that it's all over! My heart is so happy. Anoshe ADSOM.

Updated 9/11/17:I will be crying for the next 75 years. This was perfection. It was such a good conclusion.▪️▪️▪️UMMMMM so I finished A Gathering of Shadows and placed an order for this book within 10 minutes. It only took so long because I had to find my credit card. GIMME.
Ehhhhhh. I finished this one a while back, but I just couldn't decide how I felt about it.I mean, it was ok. Nothing was horribly wrong, and I certainly didn't feel pissed off when I closed the book. It just left me with this vaguely meh feeling.Like...why did I read all of this?This was, at 624 pages, a HUGE book. <--for me!I know some of you read massive tomes every night before bed, but I usually snack on comic books or fluffy romance novels, so when these bigguns don't deliver I feel a ta
I was incredibly excited to read the last book in this series and wow was it action packed. Almost too much if that's possible. I definitely enjoyed it (and recommend it!) but it wasn't as good as the two other ones in my opinion. I overall liked how things were wrapped up at the end but I felt like Lila's character was a bit one-dimensional.More in my wrap up at the end of the month!
why on earth am i so emotional right now!?!?! its been awhile since a conclusion to a series has hit me so hard. goodness, my heart is full. i loved that this picked up immediately where ‘a gathering of shadows’ left off. it was such a quick dive straight into the conclusion and this final book really has the best qualities of the previous two - more marvellous world building is at play as the characters travel beyond the city of london, and touching backstories/flashbacks are present to give ev...
“Myths do not happen all at once.”You would not be wrong in thinking of me as a girl of few certainties. “...They do not spring forth whole into the world.” The usual ones: the love of my family, my love for them, and one big dream -we all have one of those, even when we don't know we do- that keeps me going.“...They form slowly, rolled between the hands of time until their edges smooth...”There are also one or two things peculiar to me alone, of course. Unfortunately, they have a tendency to be...
LORD HAVE MERCY! THIS BOOK!I was so afraid to go into it because I just knew everyone was going to die and that would be it, THEN END! Yes, people died. Yes, I let out some tears at parts. Yes, it was amaze balls. Yes, there was a lot of blood and violence. Yes, there was evil and magic and good. YES! YES! YES! I love Rhy, Kell, Lila and Alucard so much. I even started to love ole Holland. There are other side people too. ❤There is so much stuff going on. It starts right out of the gate and just...
Just...wow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Because caring was a thing with claws. It sank them in, and didn't let go. Caring hurt more than a knife to the leg, more than a few broken ribs, more than anything that bled or broke, and healed again. Caring didn't break you clean. It was a bone that didn't set, a cut that wouldn't close." What an epic trilogy this has been! That quote pretty much sums up my love for all of these characters. Dark magic has come to red London, leaving a trail of death and devastation in i...
