Light is Found in Every Hue Magus is dying from the inside out, and only the destruction of the barrier can save it. Even color magic can’t defend against earthquakes, strange weather patterns, and erratic wildlife behavior. After discovering hundreds of captive Yellow magic-users, Ava and Elm fight to set them free. However, new dangers and unexpected enemies await at every turn, forcing them to face their greatest challenges yet. The calamities inside the barrier slowly manifest in the outside world as well, pulling citizens from both sides of the battle into the fray. In this new war, they may not all make it out alive. Elm and Ava must confront the growing darkness and create a future in a world that has been all but stripped of hope. Can Magus be restored, or is it already too late? |

Wow! What a colorful finish to a vibrant series! No, I couldn't help it, puns very much intended. I have absolutely loved the Color Theory series from beginning to conclusion. Ashley Bustamante's vivid worldbuilding and rich storytelling are every bit as wonderful in Chromatic as they are in books one and two.
Chromatic had everything that I was hoping for in the final Color Theory book. There were answers, there was resolution, and loose threads were nicely tied up. Plus Ashley Bustamante just flat out kept you on the edge of your seat as the characters race toward danger and some very emotional moments.
Honestly, the only problem I had with Chromatic is that this is the end of the Color Theory series and I had to say goodbye to characters that I've come to know and love. Hopefully, though, there will be more stories to anticipate from Ashley Bustmante. I know she is definitely on my YA and New Adult MUST-read list...
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Chromatic by Ashley Bustamante a 4.5 Bark rating.
More from Ashley
One of the difficult things about writing this book is that I knew the characters were going to have to face higher stakes and deeper pain than ever before. Given the situation they are in, it had to be that way. But, in spite of what Ava, Elm, and crew will face in Chromatic, this is ultimately a story of hope and triumph.
As I’ve watched the struggles of the world right now and seen what so many readers are going through, I knew I wanted to tell a tale of perseverance. No matter how bleak our circumstances may be, we can still find the light.
I hope you enjoy Chromatic!
