A Gathering of Shadows

4.5 Stars

When I finally finished this book, I then proceeded to internally scream nope in my head repeatedly. I knew we were in for a crazy ride at the end of the book, but I was not expecting it to be anything as extreme or unexpected as it actually was. I was not at all prepared to read those last few chapters.

For me this book started off really slow, it was not until right before the tournament began that I really connected with the plot. That being said this was still an amazing and strong sequel. I'm still amazed every time I finish another Victoria Schwab book. She has slowly become one of my favorite authors (even if I have only read four of her books).

February is so long away I have no idea how I'm going to patiently wait to get my hands on A Conjuring of Light. It is going to be a long wait. This would have been a five star book if it were not for the slower start.
