Review Detail

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.
