Tensions are at an all-time high between mages and Dulls, or non-magical people, and between mages themselves. One faction is campaigning for the use of magic only when it doesn’t hurt anyone or anything, while the other side thinks magic should be used for war and destruction, and meanwhile, the Dulls want all mages out of their city, beneficial or not. Everyone is at odds in this concluding installment in the Conspiracy of Magic series.
I loved the first two books, [b:Ruthless Magic|39894702|Ruthless Magic (Conspiracy of Magic, #1)|Megan Crewe|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1524155082l/39894702._SY75_.jpg|61390355] and [b:Wounded Magic|42837250|Wounded Magic (Conspiracy of Magic Book 2)|Megan Crewe|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1542327005l/42837250._SY75_.jpg|64935442], with the second book having some incredible character arcs and trope inversions that I rarely see in young adult literature to the point that it’s one of the best books I’ve read this year. Fearless Magic was a fantastic conclusion to this trilogy, continuing the story of our amazing protagonists, Finn and Rocío. I loved the further character development that Crewe gives us in this book. Her writing is so captivating and draws you right into the story.
This book takes a look at political activism and what it looks like and means to stand up for what’s right and fight for the truth and good in the world. There were some scenes that drew strong parallels to the events prevalent during the summer of 2020 with the riots around the world and the Black Lives Matter movement. In this book, it’s not white versus black but instead mage versus non-mage. There were protests and disagreements galore, and both parties were seeing each other as the enemy. I couldn’t help but look at parts of this book’s plot as representative of the real world, and it’s eye-opening to see social conflicts like this from a third-party view because you see that both sides have valid points and also that both sides feel hurt by the conflicts. I thought Crewe did a really good job at writing this aspect of the story.
The characters and relationships between them in this book were so good. There is lots of tension between characters that propels the book forward. I also enjoyed seeing Finn and Rocío’s relationship progress even more in this book. Their relationship is prominent throughout the series, but the romance always remains secondary to the overall plot, which was really nice to see.
Fearless Magic was a wonderful conclusion to the Conspiracy of Magic trilogy. It’s full of political scheming, compelling storytelling, quality writing, and memorable characters who actually think through decisions before acting on them. I absolutely loved the ending, too. This book is filled with so much hope, and the ending nicely wraps up the trilogy but is still open enough for the reader to infer what happens next.
I loved this whole trilogy, and I truly think it’s one of the best young adult fantasy series I’ve read. So many of the traditionally published stories all feel the same and it gets tiring and boring to read the same story over and over, but this series was not like that. Megan Crewe brings us a fresh perspective on magic, and she constantly was surprising me with the plot. Often I would think, “I know how this is going to go because this is how it always happens,” but then I would be wrong, and there’s nothing more satisfying than being pleasantly surprised during a book. The Conspiracy of Magic series is severely underrated, and I encourage anyone who enjoys fantasy to give it a shot.
I received a copy of the ebook from the author in exchange for an honest review.

In Fearless Magic, Megan Crewe provides a thrilling story with plenty of suspense that leads to a sweet and satisfying conclusion to her Conspiracy of Magic series. The three books would be best enjoyed in order (the optional prequel, Magic Unmasked, could be read separately or at any point during the series).
I love these characters and often felt a desire to cheer them on as they faced difficult challenges both internal and external. It’s very satisfying to watch them learn and grow. And I have enjoyed learning more about this world and its unique magic system. I don’t want to say too much about the plot and spoil the surprises, but I really like some of the twists and turns this story has taken. The whole experience has been a lot of fun.
I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys young adult urban fantasy. While this book does contain violence and death, it is not particularly graphic and seemed less brutal to me than the first book. There is no sex and very minimal swearing.
I received an ARC from the author and volunteered to review it.
