emma, christina, mark and julian are my CORE FOUR!

i adore them as a friendship group, and as individual characters. i can confidently say that each one of them has gorgeous character development - emma's grief, julian's struggles as a single mother to his 4 younger siblings, christina confronting her past and settling into her future at the LA institute, mark coming to terms with his heritage/identity - even though lady midnight is the first book in the dark artifices trilogy !  there is no doubt in my mind that cassandra clare will expand upon the pieces of art that she has created here.

family and the ancient greek words for love, are other strong themes that are explored excellently in ld. the blackthorn siblings made me legitimately tear UP!! the group scenes were so well written, easy to follow, and the perfect showcase of everyone's unique personality.

and the SHIPPPSSS. my gawd, the relationships...emma and julian are an angst masterclass. they really feel like a married couple who've been together 50 years and have 50 kids. much older than their years, which is understandable given they've lived through the dark war, but they still have a youthfulness to them. i'm also a big fan of mark/christina plus i'm suspecting that
they will be in a throuple with kieran, mark's faerie boo from the wild hunt! so, i'm extra curious to see kieran's future interactions with xtina...

got this book at christmas, absolutely loved it and look forward to reading the next two. the pacing was great, there always felt like there was something going and keeping you entertain while still giving you time to get to know the characters and their surroundings. the plot was enjoyable and it was fun trying to piece together the clues alongside the characters. also the many relationships (platonic and not) were well written as was the book itself.

This starts out a bit slow but once the ball is rolling it’s ROLLING. Plenty of action and surprises to keep things interesting. The romance was nice and not as rushed as it is in the mortal instruments. Up until the epilogue though it felt like this book could be a stand alone so I’m curious how the story will proceed without feeling forced.
