Books Like A Conjuring of Light

Read more

Kate Reading and Michael Kramer split the Shades of Magic finale's ensemble across a 19-hour performance that has been developing across three books — by this point the narrators have particular voices for particular characters, and that accumulated familiarity pays off in a conclusion that's trying to manage a lot of moving parts simultaneously. The two- structure gives the different London settings a distinct sonic identity without making the transitions jarring. Nine picks share one or both narrators, several come from V.E. Schwab's own catalog, and the award-winning titles here carry the same character-driven epic fantasy weight.
