Our view
“A Conjuring of Light” closes the Shades of Magic trilogy at speed, picking up straight after the second book. It keeps that pace for much of its nearly seven hundred pages and takes care at the end to settle each character’s course. Some call it the strongest of the three; others find the villain less menacing than promised, some turns easy to foresee and the frequent flashbacks a drag. Read the earlier books shortly beforehand.
