A Conjuring of Light is a wonderful ending to the series, wrapping up loose ends in all of the stories and the characters. Not without heartbreak that has been consistent throughout the series, it was a fantastic end to a fantastic trilogy.
The length of this book surprised me, considering it was so much longer than the other books, but I can't say there was any one part that drug on for me. The story was very fluid and kept consistently moving toward the end that the author was building.
The lyricality of the writing remained as delightful as ever. I particularly loved the part toward the end where the three Antari see Ojka and all of them have a very separate reaction to her in small paragraphs. I love that poetry in the prose. I also really enjoyed getting to see more of Holland's perspective in this book, as well as the King and Queen of Red London. It was an excellent blend of perspectives. Rhy was also more prominent in this book, as were Alucard. It was cool to really get inside everyone's heads.
