Book 3 of 3: Shades of Magic
Author: V. E. Schwab
Genres: Action, Adult Fantasy, Adventure, Alternate History, Fantasy, Gaslamp Fantasy, Historical Fantasy, Magic, Science Fiction
The third and final book in the adult fantasy series "Shades of Magic," is a fantastic conclusion to the trilogy in which a fallen hero rises to defeat an ancient foe.
It's a lengthy book, but not as long as I wanted it to be because I wanted to learn more about these characters, despite the fact that there's a lot of action in it and the author does a fantastic job of describing it all in epic detail.
Because the authors are not able to tie all of the knots together, many fantasy trilogies disappoint at the end or end in a heap of rushed sputtering farce. That isn't the case with this book. It is an outstanding and well-rounded novel that is without a doubt the best in the series. But remember, this is the third part; if you haven't read the first two parts, nothing will make sense.
This book will make you feel the pain of losing something you care about, such as a close friend, a pet, or any other thing or person you are no longer able to meet or see. By the end of the book, the characters will remind you of this painful feeling, and I'm sure some readers will cry. Surprisingly, this book series made readers dislike it, but on the other hand, it was able to squeeze the heart to make it bleed tears out of the reader’s eyes, which is a sign of great writing, world-building, and character development.
I'm sure some people will despise this book, but it's not because of the author or the plot; it's because of the characters, which are purposefully written in this manner. I'm not sure why some people don't get it. Yes, I dislike many characters, but that does not mean I despise the book or the authors.
Synopsis:
“Witness the fate of beloved heroes and notorious foes in the heart-stopping conclusion to V.E. Schwab’s New York Times bestselling Shades of Magic trilogy.
*Kirkus' Best Fiction of 2017*
As darkness sweeps the Maresh Empire, the once precarious balance of power among the four Londons has reached its breaking point.
In the wake of tragedy, Kell―once assumed to be the last surviving Antari―begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties. Lila Bard, once a commonplace―but never common―thief, has survived and flourished through a series of magical trials. But now she must learn to control the magic, before it bleeds her dry.
An ancient enemy returns to claim a city while a fallen hero tries to save a kingdom in decay. Meanwhile, the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery of the Night Spire collects his crew, attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible.
