About once a year I crave a Cassie Clare book, and I think when that feeling hits it's because I love how rich her writing is. It's not rushed, and she really has a way of telling stories in this unique world she's created. And this time, though it wasn't a favorite, didn't disappoint either. I love the Blackthorn family, she did such a good job at making them each feel real and precious. Especially Julian and his paint and pancakes. I did however, feel like there were too many POV's for me, it made it hard for me to stay invested at times. In fact my favorite part of this book was the chunk where I'm now realizing the POVs were temporarily minimized. (I also just found that segment super interesting itself though). Also, I didn't like outcome of the parabatai curse, it was hard to imagine it looking cool and not weird. The last chapter though was so fun and made my heart so happy, it felt like a great way to wrap everything up with some Cassie Clare magic. Overall, I wish I had loved it a bit more for how long the book was, but it was still a good shadowhunter novel nonetheless if that is what you're craving♡

Perfect conclusion to an amazing series - if you love urban fantasy filled with angst, forbidden love, friendship, found family etc, you need to read Shadowhunters

Resumiendo,Queen of air and darkness es una conclusión de trilogía trepidante y que amé con todo mi corazón. Unos protagonistas variados que han evolucionado muchísimo y que son muy realistas. Unos personajes secundarios memorables y también bien construidos. Un ritmo trepidante desde el principio, acción continua y sorpresas. Una prosa por parte de la autora brillante y preciosa junto a unos temas muy bien tratados. Unos sentimientos a flor de piel a pesar de algunos aspectos que me chirriaron un poco

Tittle: Queen of Air and Darkness
Author: Cassandra Clare
Date Read: 11/7/23 - 11/13/23
Favorite Passages: The trees around the campsite were rustling loudly. The Cohort members who had remained at the treeline, weapons drawn, were glancing around in puzzlement and dawning fear. Jace drew the third in a line of X's on the ground and tossed aside his stick. "Checkmate," he said. "Checkmate is chess," Clary pointed out, entirely ignoring the Cohort surrounding them. Jace grinned. It was a bright, beautiful grin, the sort of grin that made Helen understand why, all those years ago, Aline had kissed him just to see. "I wasn't talking about our game," he said. - Page 704 & 705
What if damnation is the price of true love? Innocent blood has been spilled on the steps of the Council Hall, the sacred stronghold of the Shadowhunters. In the wake of the tragic death of Livia Blackthorn, the Clave teeters on the brink of civil war. One fragment of the Blackthorn family flees to Los Angeles, seeking to discover the source of the disease that is destroying the race of warlocks. Meanwhile, Julian and Emma take desperate measures to put their forbidden love aside and undertake a perilous mission to Faerie to retrieve the Black Volume of the Dead. What they find in the Courts is a secret that may tear the Shadow World asunder and open a dark path into a future they could never have imagined.
Caught in a race against time, Emma and Julian must save the world of Shadowhunters before the deadly power of the parabatai curse destroys them and everyone they love.
