Cate Glass'sA Summoning of Demons marks the thrilling conclusion for the Chimera team, a ragtag crew who use their forbidden magic for the good of the kingdom. Catagna has been shaken to its core. The philosophists insist that a disastrous earthquake has been caused by an ancient monster imprisoned below the earth, who can only be freed with magic. In every street and market, the people of Catagna are railing against magic-users with a greater ferocity than ever before, and magic hunters are everywhere. Meanwhile, Romy has been dreaming. Every night, her dreams are increasingly vivid and disturbing. Every day, she struggles to understand the purpose of the Chimera's most recent assignment from the Shadow Lord. As Romy and the others attempt to carry out their mission, they find themselves plunged into a mystery of corruption and murder, myth and magic, and a terrifying truth: the philosophists may have been right all along.

My other criticism is in regard to the dangling relationship between Romy and Sandro (il Padroné). The author subtly indicates that their relationship has not completely disappeared, at least on Sandro’s part. Where is Glass going with this? The Romy character established a solid choice in Book 1 to go her own way, yet there’s always a hint in the subsequent books that indicates ambivalence on both her and Sandro’s part. I find the dithering artificial and what point is there in this imagined future scenario?
Curiosity, along the lines of “what happens next” in the lives of the main protagonists, was the major motivation to read this next book in the series. If that’s what you’re looking for, you may find this instalment a bit of a let down. ( )
