“Death comes for us all. I would simply have mine mean something.”

A Conjuring of Light was my favorite of the series and it’s also the longest. I loved that we got the multiple point of view storyline again. 

Rhy’s story really hooked its claws into me. I cried for his story. My favorite quote from one of his chapters: “As Rhy Maresh walked through the streets of London, a new myth was taking shape.” He had the most character growth of anyone in this book and he became such a badass in the end. 

We get chapters interspersed in the plot with background for Holland. To get a glimpse behind the facade of the cold Antari magician was moving (and sad). These chapters and the chapters from Holland’s point of view made Holland into my favorite character. 

There are scenes in this book that had me wishing for an alternate universe where Kell and Lila had Holland for a magic teacher. At one point Holland says something along the lines of “I can’t believe there are things you still do not know”. I cant help but think Holland would have been a perfect teacher for them both. 

We end this trilogy with a lot of loss. It’s always sad to end a series and this one is no exception. I’ll miss these characters and this story but it was a good ending.
