Review of 'A Conjuring of Light' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This was an amazing finale, a hell of a roller coaster, and has just enough loose ends left untied to give the audience an ending that is simultaneously satisfying -- without annoying, unanswered questions about the story and our heroes -- AND hooking for the new story that will unfold in the Threads of Power series that was recently announced.

I'm sad to be done with this series. I can only hope this isn't the last we've seen of Kell, Lila, Rhy, and Alucard. It's all I ask, really.
