I only hope he’ll get the healing and happiness he deserves. There’s so much mystery surrounding why Matthew carries so much pain and guilt. He can spout ridiculous lines one minute and then wisdom beyond his years the next. Matthew is one of the most interesting and conflicting characters of the book. “I don’t fancy being stabbed I am far too young and beautiful to die.” We could all benefit from taking a page out of Anna’s book. Despite the closed-mindedness of the time period, Anna is completely and utterly herself. If I met her in real life, I would be swept off my feet. And one of those gifts is Anna Lightwood.

And your heart will melt for his generous soul-how he is the undeniable glue that holds his friends together.Ĭassie has given us a plethora of gifts with so many queer characters in this trilogy. But just like Will, he hides a depth of passion inside him. James, unexpectedly, feels completely unlike any of Cassie’s other characters. But she is a whirlwind of action and blazing emotion as well. Lucie is a writer and lives life with a writer’s eye and distance. She’s very scalding to her brother, which I absolutely adore. She has a devil-may-care-attitude and a total fearlessness. Lucie is nothing if not a miniature Will. I always love when a heroine stands up for herself-and stand up for herself Cordelia does, even to her friends. Her self-assurance is beautiful to witness. Seeing as I would walk barefoot on burning coals for Cristina, it’s no surprise that I have a near-equal love for Cordelia’s kindness and practicality.īeing inside her head felt so natural. “I’d like to be a hero.”Ĭordelia reminds me of a sharper version of Cristina Rosales. The characters are enough to carry the book when the plot wanes. However, there is so much joy and delight inside these pages. And if you’ve read the other Shadowhunter series, it may be hard to overlook the churning out of identical tropes: love triangle, tragic backstory, angst caused by two people not revealing how they feel. My only lament over this novel is that the plot is very slow. It was pouring into her room like milk, laying white bars of light over her bed and across the polished wood floor.ĭoesn’t this remind you of the opening in Matilda? So magical. Late one night the brightness of the moon woke Lucie. Your heart will be full with love for this cast of characters, their banter and antics, and their ever-shifting relationships.Īs always, Cassie’s writing is beautiful, and I have to share a quote from the opening page.

And for new readers, Cassandra Clare’s effortlessly gorgeous writing will keep you enamoured until the last page.

Now that that’s out of the way, I can continue with a clear conscience.įor long-time fans of the Shadowhunter Chronicles, Chain of Gold will be a nostalgic delight. Please, for the love of Will Herondale, do not read this book or my review if you have not yet read The Infernal Devices!
