Reseñas de la Crítica

"Fans of A Darker Shade of Magic will love its sequel, and fantasy fans who haven't yet read the first book in this series should hurry to catch up.”--Kirkus Reviews

"Full of magic, intrigue, adventure, deception, a bit of piracy...this will engage both adult and young adult fantasy readers alike.”--Booklist

Praise for A Darker Shade of Magic
"Compulsively readable...her characters make the book."--NPR

"[This has] all the hallmarks of a classic work of fantasy. Its plot is gripping. Its characters are memorable. [Its setting] is otherworldly yet believable. Schwab has given us a gem of a tale...This is a book to treasure."--Deborah Harkness, New York Times bestselling author of The All Souls trilogy

“Inventive fantasy…One for Neil Gaiman fans.”—The Guardian

Feels like a priceless object, brought from another, better world of fantasy books. Schwab's writing is engaging and vivid...kept me engrossed by its story every bit as much as I was fascinated by its complex, multilayered world. —io9.com on A Darker Shade of Magic

London’s appeal for Schwab seems to be its changeability, the way it can shift shades, from familiar to recognizable to weird to utterly alien. But for her, even the familiar has seeds of horror in it, grime and gloom and the weight of the past…It’s a multiple split-screen adventure, with an engaging hero/heroine pair at its center. —The Wall Street Journal on A Darker Shade of Magic

Compulsively readable…her characters make the book. Just as Kell has layers, Lila is a satisfyingly rich invention…the stakes feel higher because Schwab takes the time to make a world worth getting lost in. Darker Shade Of Magic resolves its plot thoroughly, but still feels like it could be the seed of a lengthy series. With so many worlds on the map, there's plenty left to discover. —NPR on A Darker Shade of Magic

A Darker Shade of Magic is as twisty-turny, dark, and gorgeous as the (multiple) Londons it winds through--I loved it! —Steven Brust, author of the New York Times bestselling Vlad series

A Darker Shade of Magic is smart, funny and sexy ... and Schwab keeps the excitement coming with roller-coaster plot twists that establish her as, perhaps, the natural successor to Diana Wynne Jones's contemporary fantasy crown. —The Independent (UK)

BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO BE OVER

BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO BE OVER! This series was absolutely wonderful. I could sit and hang with these characters forever and follow their lives and paths. Kate Reading & Michael Kramer are also two of my favorite narrators, so this was a treat.

The characters had depth and an incredible amount of flaws, but I loved how they came (or clashed) together, their jagged ends like puzzles pieces, somehow fitting. My favorite has to be Lila, with her neverending inappropriateness and recklessness.

The plot throughout the three books was well-written as well. I didn't like this one as much as the previous, but that's not saying much since I really enjoyed this one as well. There was a lot in their way this time and the characters truly had to work together. Characters who despised each other, feared one another, somehow they were able to work together for the "greater good." This was especially interesting to see and also produced incredible character growth.

I can't wait to gobble up the rest of V.E. Schwab's work!

lovely series

Much love to the author. In love with this world(s) created by her. l don't want it to end. I only wish the same narrator narrated all three books. The last two were hard to listen to at times.

Wonderful, magical conclusion

I didn't want this wonderfully written and imaginative tale to ever end.

I will re-read A Conjuring of Light, indeed the complete trilogy.

Than you @V.E._Schwab. Thank you.

Great Finish to an Epic Trilogy

The third book in the trilogy is every bit as exciting and intense as the first two books. The characters are well developed, the story unique, and the power of magic ever so intriguing.

I actually enjoyed this book

I really enjoyed reading this better than a gathering of shadows which I didn’t like. And I honestly felt a bit hesitant to read the third book because I thought it was going to be slow just like the second book too many pages with little twist and turns to sum this up the best thing in the second book was HOLLAND. but the third book was as really good love the villain OSARON liked the plot. And the ending was simple and nice. My favorite characters are KELL of course and HOLLAND I loved how his character developed.

Super cute!

I enjoyed it very much. There were a few places where the author made the characters behave stupidly to make things more dramatic, but overall, it was great.

FUCKING GOOD

Did you grow up reading Harry Potter? Are you a millennial that still wants to go back in from Harry Potter land but feel kind of juvenile… This book is for you.

Justice

Greatest love story I have ever listened too. My heart is very happy. I am gay and a Marine Corps veteran.

Great book series

Definitely worth the listen. Narrators were good. Sad the series is over. The author is great with character development

A lovely ending

A lovely ending for a lovely story! Funny parts, sad parts, exciting parts-It has it all! When I finished it, I was happy until I realized it was over haha I've enjoyed all of the characters, the way magic works, and the story just in general. I always find myself sad at the end of good stories, but this left me with a good closure and openess of imagining how the characters live out the rest of their lives.
