What an epic conclusion to a dope trilogy. I should write a review for the first two books, which I will do later. Loyalties and bonds are tested, Sirscha is determined to save the kingdom, and I was left hanging on every word.
Following the events of “Broken Web,” we follow Sirscha on her quest to save the kingdom, but not everything and everyone is what they seem. Every character felt complex and developed, which enhanced the story. This is probably the first time I’ve read a fantasy trilogy that didn’t have an underlying love story apart of the plot, which for me was unexpected, but I loved it.
Soulless is an excellent villain. I sometimes found myself agreeing with Soulless but not his methods. (This isn’t the first time I’ve agreed with the villain, but not their methods… Killmonger… Thanos… but that’s not the point…) I thoroughly enjoyed watching his entire plot play out.
“Calling of Light” has everything: mystery, political intrigue, phenomenal character development, and fantastic writing. I hadn’t considered myself as someone who enjoys political thrillers, but this was phenomenal.
