Description
In the high-stakes conclusion to the Micah Grey Trilogy from the USA Today-bestselling author of Dragonfall, Micah faces his own magical power, nebulous alliances, and a conspiracy that unravels all the way to the Royal Palace
The gifted can’t hide their talents forever. But monsters await when they step into the light...
Micah's Chimaera powers are growing, just as dark visions threaten to overwhelm him. Drystan is forced to take him to the Royal Physician, but can they really trust the doctor? Especially when he gets Micah hooked on a mysterious medicine, and a close friend is revealed to be his spy.
Meanwhile, violent unrest is sweeping the country as anti-royalist factions fight to be heard. When a royal secret and an attack on Chimaera brings Micah into the heart of the conflict, he and his friends must fight an ancient sect that aims to spread terror once more. The fate of all Chimaera—and the world—hangs in the balance.
In this satisfying and thrilling conclusion to their inventive fantasy trilogy, L.R. Lam raises the stakes like never before.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy.
Lam knocks it out of the park with the finale to the Micah Grey trilogy. Masquerade was a delightful ride of emotions, even though I felt like screaming and crying sometimes :)
Without talking about the actual plot of the book, the end to this series felt wholesome but bittersweet. I’m sad it’s over, but I sure am glad I got to read it!
The character development of both Micah and Drystan has been my favourite part of this trilogy, and Drystan reallyyyyy had a big development in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading his character arc!

A beautiful finale to the Micah Grey trilogy, LR Lam knocks it out of the park with MASQUERADE in the magical realm of Elada.

What can I say about the Micah Grey trilogy besides I am so sad to see it end? But also, what an ending!
There were so many reveals, and revelations, and Hestia's fables!
I am so sad to be finished with Micah's story and love him, Drystan, Cyan, Maske. I love Cyril and the moments they had together and just unrestrained love he has for Micah.
"Life is nothing but change, after all, and we believe the world having a little more magic, a little more wonder, is no bad thing."
I'm so glad I joined this circus.

Masquerade by L R Lam is the thrilling conclusion to the Micah Grey trilogy. In this novel, Micah’s questions about his past and the future are answered, and he is finally tasked with saving the world. Micah and his friend Cyan and lover Drystan must figure out who the blurred man is and what he wants before it is too late. Additionally, the trio must figure out the motives and intentions of Dr Pinecrest, the doctor who claims to have found Micah as a baby.
This book was all a reader could hope for in a finale. L R Lam pulled their signature move of masterfully interweaving tense events in the storyline with heartwarming and breaking emotional scenes. All lose ends that needed tying off were tied, leaving the reader yearning for more, but not so much that they can’t understand the story without it.
The Micah Grey trilogy and its conclusion are masterful pieces of works: thoroughly engaging and enjoyable. This series is perfect for fantasy readers fond of tropes such as found family and mysterious pasts. Thank you to DAW for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own

A very fitting and magical end to the story!
We added some more characters to care about as well as more magic and different powers which was very cool to see and learn about!
While less magic was learned in this book we still got plenty of shows and performances for the group to put on which were delightful as always!
I've greatly enjoyed watching Micah grow on his journey with all the friends and companions helping along the way!
If you enjoy coming of age queer stories or stories of magic and illusions this trilogy is wonderful and I highly recommend it broadly!
