An excellent completion to the trilogy. I repeat that I'll be delighted to give these to my nephew in a few years. As an adult, I really enjoyed DJ's viewpoint and worldbuilding, and so I liked the first book the best, for the introduction to the ideas. Not to take away from the others, I'm just a little less interested in the action and plot progression. It's very good for the right audience and loads better than some books I read at that age. ( )

In the final book of the trilogy, Sierra and her band of family and friends - shadowshapers, and now the House of Shadow and Light - find themselves fighting not just the other houses for dominance but also an ancient force for evil in her family history.

A satisfying conclusion to a diverse fantasy trilogy. Sierra Santiago and her friends are well-characterized, even if the good and evil is a little heavy handed (in this book, the main house they're fighting against are literal modern-day Nazis). I enjoyed the exploration of the history of shadowshaping and Sierra's family legacy, both the good and the bad. The chapters are short and keep pages turning quickly as everything comes together. ( )
