I loved this third and last book of the Shades of Magic series. 
 Here are some of my favorite quotes of A Conjuring of Light: 
 Life isnaEUR(tm)t made of choices, itaEUR(tm)s made of trades. Some are good, some are bad, but they all have a cost. 
 Love and loss 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. 
 At the end of the second book I was afraid that I will be disappointed about this one, so I did not go in with a lot of expectations, but it turned out sooooo goooood dY~S 
 The whole of A Conjuring of Light was a roller-coaster ride. And it was breath takingly good. I was at the edge of my seat all along. And what I adored was that I could not predict a lot of plot lines as I did in the second book. Here, I was surprised most of the time and I just read and read on because I wanted to know what unexpected thing will happen next to our protagonists. The style of the story telling was also better than in the first and second book because here we shifted between different charactersaEUR(tm) perspectives way more often and among way more characters. It gave the story a really fascinating dynamic. Also, Schwab is a master of making you not only imagine her story but also feel it with your senses. 
 I would sum up this story as a special siege raised by a demon-magic-king-god who always wants more and, well, more. And that is his only motivation: to have, make and be more. During the siege our protagonists try different strategies against the shadow king. The story is very action packed, even spooky at some points. It was definitely a darker shade of storytelling. dY~%0 However, amidst of all the running and fighting I found that were enough time for world and character building as well. We get to know more about the king and queen and their history together. We get to know the truth about AlucardaEUR(tm)s departure and his special abilities concerning magic. By the way we learn about magic in a whole new level in this book. We also encounter very intriguing new characters, places, and magical objects. 
 Sadly, there were losses and if you are a sensitive reader you would feel your heart drop on several occasions. From the first two books one goes into this one expecting that there will be deaths, but you just cannot be prepared for the injustice of some of them. 
 There was one particular death (view spoiler)[HastraaEUR(tm)s (hide spoiler)] that I was not able to accept. (view spoiler)[He was so young, innocent, and wise for his years, he just did not deserve to die and I will never forgive his death to Schwab. I fell in love with this sweet boy during the second book and I noted if she will kill him off I will not forgive it. I knew somewhere in my heart that she would do it but I could not realise it. It was cruel. And I know life is cruel and innocent people die. So, well, I understand, but still, canaEUR(tm)t forgive it. (hide spoiler)] 
 The characters were as magical as the world itself. I loved how Lila, Kell, Alucard, Rhy and Holland interacted with one another. They were the source of so much comic relief in the depth of chaos and terror. Also, I want to mention that I did not like Lila at the beginning, but in this book, I just had to let her creep into my heart. Finally, I could appreciate her personality and she grew so much along the way, I could not help myself, I begin rooting for her and Kell. (view spoiler)[I also admired their relationship where love came from mutual respect and admiration for each other. It was realistic, true and beautiful. (hide spoiler)] 
 Now letaEUR(tm)s just talk about the villains in this series. With Osaron, the shadow king, I only had one problem. (view spoiler)[I wanted him to have some real motivation. But as I understood it, he was just pure evil who wanted more and was never satisfied and could not live normally. I hope there will be some explanation in a sequel about how he came to be, because I found it a bit easy to be just evil and thataEUR(tm)s it. (hide spoiler)] And then we have Holland whom I somehow suspected was (view spoiler)[not really bad from the first book on, but I could not imagine how innocent he really was, how he only wanted to save his world, and how much he suffered the torture of the Danes. I wanted him so badly to be able to go back to White London and somehow manage to save it and make it better. I wanted Kell and Holland to open the doors between the worlds. It was only bad luck to be born to a dying world and KellaEUR(tm)s world was somehow responsible for white LondonaEUR(tm)s slow death. So, it felt so unjust to me not to help them. But maybe it will happen in the next books. I sure hope so. (hide spoiler)] 
 This series made me feel so many things. And it was written and constructed brilliantly. There were unanswered questions such as (view spoiler)[where does Kell come from and what will happen to White London, why couldnaEUR(tm)t they save it also? (hide spoiler)]. So, I am definitely waiting for a sequel where we could learn more about this world. Hopefully it will come soon.
