\u201cLife isn\u2019t made of choices, it\u2019s made of trades. Some are good, some are bad, but they all have a cost.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As darkness sweeps the Maresh Empire, the once precarious balance of power among the four Londons has reached its breaking point. In the wake of tragedy, Kell, once assumed to be the last surviving Antari, begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties. Lila Bard, once a commonplace, but never common, thief, has survived and flourished through a series of magical trials. But now she must learn to control the magic, before it bleeds her dry. An ancient enemy returns to claim a city while a fallen hero tries to save a kingdom in decay. Meanwhile, the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery of the Night Spire collects his crew, attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible.<\/p>\n

This is the third installment of the Shades of Magic<\/em> series. This book felt a bit like anarchy, to be completely honest. I mean, it did pump some serious amount of adrenaline in my veins at some point and that wasn\u2019t really a bad thing. It was so well written and the characters \u2013 annoyingly stubborn as they were \u2013 actually made sense to the whole action. The story unraveled nicely and the only thing I wished from it was to not be, I don\u2019t know, so rushed at the end. To make them last a bit longer.<\/p>\n

Even though I really liked this, I still felt like I couldn\u2019t give it five full stars because it was a bit too long for how they handled the whole situation at the end. It wasn\u2019t bad at all, but it did leave me with a bit of a bitter taste just at the end. Therefore, I rated this four stars. I wanted either less amount of plot or a more complex solution to the problem. But oh well, we can\u2019t have it all I guess. Even so, I did love the characters, because even though they are so not trustworthy, they still have something good in them and I dare say, some of them are quite lovely actually. I did enjoy this book. And I do recommend the whole trilogy, it\u2019s absolutely fantastic, wildly imaginative and different from other books of the same genre.<\/p>\n
