CURRENTLY READING APRIL 2025

A Conjuring of Light by VE Schwab

Finally, am I right? I LOVED A Darker Shade of Magic, okay. LOVED it. I love Lila, and Kell, and Holland. Loved Schwab's writing in Vicious, and The Archive, and This Savage Song. I put off reading book two because of who I am as a person, but put off reading this because. Well. I didn't enjoy A Gathering of Shadows all that much. Enough so that I donated my spare copies of the series and only kept these with the fanart inside. I am, admittedly, at the time of writing this, nearly 75% into the book, so I definitely do have Opinions, but I'm hoping the last quarter can surprise me in some way. Show me why the entire series had such an influence on the reading community for so long. Especially since most people don't even MENTION Holland, which is a CRIME.

*✧･ﾟ:  *✧･ﾟ:  The  night  𝐙𝐎𝐑𝐘𝐀  𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐌𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐍  was  born,  the  stars  burned  like  embers  in  the  dark.  A  prophecy,  a  promise — ignored.  Now,  she  moves  in  silence,  a  spy  hidden  in  plain  sight,  collecting  secrets  the  coven  wishes  to  keep  buried.  They  do  not  see  her.  They  do  not  fear  her.  Not  yet.  Elian  calls  her  a  friend.  Lysann  once  called  her  a  sister.  The  world  will  soon  call  her  something  else.

She  was  born  on  the  darkest  night.  And  she  will  be  𝐓𝐇𝐄  𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓  𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑.

𝐀  𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘  𝐈𝐍  :  prophecies  ignored,  destinies  rewritten,  the  quiet  power  of  a  spy,  the  weight  of  a  forgotten  heir,  footsteps  on  marble,  whispers  in  the  dark,  a  dagger  pressed  to  a  throat — “speak  carefully”,  lost  sister,  shattered  bonds  and  echoes  of  a  name  never  answered,  loyalty  and  betrayal,  a  star  born  in  the  darkest  night,  refusing  to  be  swallowed  by  the  void.

2023 books a darker shade of magic by v.e. schwab (reread)

Magic was a living thing---that, everyone knew---but to Kell it felt like more, like a friend, like family. It was, after all, a part of him (much more than it was a part of most) and he couldn't help feeling like it knew what he was saying, what he was feeling, not only when he summoned it, but always, in every heartbeat and every breath. He was, after all, Antari.
