A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab
5.0
You know that feeling of when you go to a cinema to watch a good film and it ends, you sit there thinking "I just want to watch it again"? I'm left with that feeling with a side of hollow.
Someone on Goodreads posted about ADSOM and it didn't appeal but I gave it a go. I didn't know when I started that book that I'd fall so in love with the series, the characters, the worlds, the story... My heart is in so much pain right now that I've never felt with a book before.
The character growth of Holland took my breath away and I just sat crying at pages 662/663 for 10 minutes before I decided I could continue. The loss of Holland hit me the hardest and hit me unexpectedly. He literally has a place in my heart.
I spent the first two books literally SCREAMING for Kell and Lila to be together. To just yano, love each other. This 3rd and final book gave me everything I wanted a more. Their relationship is true and pure and faulted in the best way. It isn't insta love, it isn't that perfect lovey dovey stuff that you see too much of (I think) in YA books. It's true and unyielding and pure. Watching them two grow as separate people and characters was nothing short of beautiful.
Alucard I hated until the end when he brought the mirror to Rhy. I didn't care about his sacrifices or his problems at home or any of it. I thought he was a big headed dickhead to be perfectly honest. But that chapter laid him up for platter raw and I thought that was just magnificent. I don't like his attitude towards Kell but the whole love story with Rhy was incredibly well done. The fact Rhy is just a ball of cuteness and worry and is so completely HUMAN in the way he's been written. Astounding.
I read ACOMAF last May and thought nothing would ever compare to that book... I am so GLAD I have been proven wrong. My favourite book/books/series of all time is now confirmed and I'm sad it's over. I'm sure ill sit and cry soon like the pansy I am that I will never be thrust head first into this world or these characters again. I ache with loss but I glow with joy. I don't think you could find a more beautiful ending to a series. One that promises a laugh, a tear and anger.
Just perfection.
