I was glad that the cliffhanger involving Lila at the end of the last book was relatively quickly resolved, I was worried that Schwab was going to torture us with that reveal through the whole book so I’m glad it’s resolved within the first few pages. You are thrown straight back into the action, the book picks up exactly where A Gathering of Shadows left off, so I would recommend perhaps rereading at least the end of the second book before picking up this one, even I had to flick to the back of the book just to remind myself what had happened. (Warning: This review may contain spoilers for the first two books, so if you haven’t read those, turn away now). Meanwhile, the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery of the Night Spire collects his crew, attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible.Īnd an ancient enemy returns to claim a crown while a fallen hero tries to save a world in decay. But now she must learn to control the magic, before it bleeds her dry. Lila Bard, once a commonplace – but never common – thief, has survived and flourished through a series of magical trials.
And in the wake of tragedy, can Arnes survive? Kell – once assumed to be the last surviving Antari – begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties. Once brimming with the red vivacity of magic, darkness casts a shadow over the Maresh Empire, leaving a space for another London to rise. The precarious equilibrium among four Londons has reached its breaking point. Witness the fate of beloved heroes – and enemies. It was, all in all, the perfect conclusion to this series. The characters were as sassy and wonderful as ever, the fight scenes were on point, the intensity was sky high, the villain was suitably creepy and the heartbreak was definitely there. Fortunately, this book was everything that I wanted it to be and more. Excited because I couldn’t wait to see where these characters that I loved so much ended up and nervous because I knew this book was going to break my heart, I didn’t want this series to be over and I was worried it might not be as good as I was expecting it to be. This was my most anticipated read of 2017, aside from the last Throne of Glass book, although that book’s release date has now been pushed back (don’t even get me started on that!), so naturally I was equal parts nervous and excited to read this.
