The thrilling finale to the #1 Sunday Times and Los Angeles Times bestselling Nocturnatrilogy—a sweeping and epic Dominican-inspired fantasy about a face-changing thief and a risk-taking prince who must save their kingdom in the final battle between good and evil magic. Perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Sabaa Tahir, and Roseanne A. Brown.
In the aftermath of Sombra’s return, the balance between light and dark magic has been destroyed and chaos has broken out in Castallan and around the world. Sombra’s shadows have taken over to create monstrous versions of everyone Finn and Alfie love, and with war between Castallan and Englass looming, the prince and the thief must band together one last time—to save their entire world.

To stop the magical imbalance, they must find the stone relics of Sombra’s body before the god can unite the pieces and regain his full strengthonce more.

But the laws of magic no longer apply, and with their own magic—and even the laws of time itself—drastically changing at every turn, Finn and Alfie are left on their own to stop Sombra and fulfill their prophecy before it is too late and the darkness reigns.

Will they restore balance to their world or will its light be gone forever?

What I liked:
Lucero is everything I expected in a book about balancing dark and light and the results when things have gone to the extremely dark side of dark. The evilness that has seeped from Alfie releasing Sombra has returned to haunt in the worst way possible. It is breaking an epic quest, and the ending is heart-wrenching. I love the way the author gives us a glimpse of the future that occurs and shows us that warm feeling that all is well in the future.
Final Verdict:
Lucero, being the final book in this series, the characters grew a lot throughout the series as well as the author did, as she noted in her author note leaves at the end of the book. Some book series are released quickly, devoured just as swiftly, and forgotten on our shelves. A forgery of magic will not be overlooked. It has been a long time coming for the ending, but it is ending with lessons we all need to learn, and it is the perfect way to end 2023.
