A review by sarah2438
A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab

4.0

The speed with which I read this has broken my brain. I know I read it all cause I annotated the entire thing. But my brain is lagging with the worst sort of book hangover. Here are my few coherent thoughts:
  • The politics seemed entirely unnecessary and really served to expose how little world building there has been beyond Red London itself
  • Bring back the questions of faith (magic vs god, athiesm vs mystical agnosticism) that were briefly alluded to
  • Holland is baby and I need his entire life's story
  • Not every woman has to be a manic pixie knife-weilding girl to have value. It's okay to have a softer female character. I wish we had more range on that.
  • I think overall its a mid series. But I love Schwab's writing.
That's it for now. I need a nap...
