I read the first book of SOM series in the beginning of July, then moved on to reading other books and picked up the second in the series A Gathering of Shadows only last week. Since it ended with a cliffhanger, I moved on to A Conjuring of Light and what can I say?! I'm really glad I did as I think it's one of the best fantasy novels I've read in a while and the best in this series. What I love the most about SOM series and especially A Conjuring of Light is the humanness of every character with their multifaceted personalities and reasonable motives in a world of fantasy. Holland has become one of my favorites in A Gathering of Shadows and in A Conjuring of Light, he's become my ultimate favorite in the series with his complex nature, the sacrifices and motive. I want to keep it spoiler-free but all I can say is that you should read this book if you haven't already because it has so much to offer: amazing worldbuilding, diverse characters, realistic portrayal of human feelings and clever plotting with a conclusion that doesn't disappoint.
