As usual V.E. Schwab'    fantasy  world  in   the  city(s) of London is amazing. Not to mention the magical characters. Also Rhy who is one of the best royal  prince character  ever. I never thought  I would  appreciate  a character  with that name but here we are.

 The  magicians are  literally the central  focus of this books  plot. It's a differenf level of  the dangers  one person can bring in a city unprepared  again.  And I loved every second  of  this series conclusion. From how it continued seamlessly  from  book  two. To the revelations  of  power  and  relations.  It was such a journey that I can't  wait to  come  back to read.

I lived for how slowly Lila came to be recognized as an antari. That she didn't let that stop her from being the best in this new magical world were everyone seemed to underestimate her. Also how Rhy was just stubborn and string despite not having any magic. He is the best kind of leader who takes risk.

Wow wow wow. This was such a great end to the series. My heart was definitely hurting at the end, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the book when I wasn’t reading it. It was impossible to guess what would happen next. Schwab did amazing exposition on Holland and he honestly became one of my favorite characters by the end. I would 1000% recommend this series to my friends.

I can't express enough how much I love this world, these characters. Brilliant world building, brilliant character work. 

The stakes were high, the sacrifices hurt my chest. The whole thing is simply gorgeous, masterful storytelling. I'm gonna live here forever.

Honestly, I kept thinking that I was getting close to the end, realizing I still had several hours left, then wondering what could possibly happen next. I loved all the characters, but this book cemented Rhy as my favorite.

The deaths in this book hurt. Most of them were noble sacrifices: Hastra (my love!!), the King, and Holland. Other were innocents: Calla and Anisa Emery. I was a bit surprised how many characters Schwab did decide to kill off, and I wish it had been fewer. I also didn’t like that so many of the citizens of London died trying to fight off the fog, while those who gave into it and were subsequently put to sleep were, for the most part, fine.

 

 

I was hoping for some sort of redemption for Holland, and I got it. I’m a sucker for self-sacrifice, so I loved that, ultimately, it came down to him to defeat the shadow king, sacrificing his magic (and then his life) in the process.
