A Conjuring of Light

this trilogy has made me a HUGE fan of Schwab's for sure! i loved what felt like the first half of the book, but towards the end some character decisions didn't really make sense...? why did Maxim essentially sacrifice himself when he knew 3 Antari were working on it? and then WHY did Rhy deliver himself to Osaron lol???

i also wish more was done with Alucard as he became a quick favorite of mine after the second book. his name is still ridiculous but he is delightful.

Lila is as badass and whip-smart as ever and i love the reveal of her as Antari. i just went back and read my review of the first book in the series and i absolutely appreciate Lila's closure with the clothing merchant and Barron and saying goodbye to Alucard. it's a bit of a shame that she had the least happening to her in this book, but i guess it was time for other characters to be fleshed out
