albamellark's review against another edition
5.0
Resumiendo, El señor de las sombras es una secuela espectacular en la que Cassandra ha vuelto a superarse a sí misma. Unos personajes muy completos y redondos con evolución y defectos. Unos secundarios que cobran importancia.Una prosa por parte de la autora preciosa y muy trabajada. Un ritmo bueno en todo momento a excepción de algunos momentos un poco lentos. Unos giros en la trama en su mayor parte sorprendentes.Un final desgarrador que me destrozó por completo.

Tittle: Lord of Shadows
Author: Cassandra Clare
Date Read: 10/28/23 - 11/6/23
Favorite Passages: "Do you know why I'm sure?" he whispered, kissing her temple, her cheek where it tasted like salt. "Because when this universe was born, when it blasted into existence in fire and glory, everything that would ever exist was created. Our souls are made of that fire and glory, of the atoms of it, the fragments of stars. Everyone's are, but I believe ours, yours and mine, are made from the dust of the same star. That's why we've always been drawn to each other like magnets, all our lives. All the pieces of us belong together." He held her tighter. "Your name, Emma, means universe, you know," he said. "Doesn't that prove I'm right?" - page 613 Julian Blackthorn
Would you trade your soul mate for your soul? A Shadowhunter's life is bound by duty. Constrained by honor. The word of a Shadowhunter is a solemn pledge, and no vow is more sacred than the vow that binds parabatai, warrior partners-sworn to fight together, die together, but never to fall in love. Emma Carstairs has learned that the love she shares with her parabatai, Julian Blackthorn, isn't just forbidden-it could destroy them both. She knows she should run from Julian. But how can she when the Blackthorns are threatened by enemies on all sides? Their only hope is the Black Volume of the Dead, a spell book of terrible power. Everyone wants it. Only the Blackthorns can find it. Spurred on by a dark bargain with the Seelie Queen, Emma; her best friend, Cristina; and Mark and Julian Blackthorn journey into the Courts of Faerie, where glittering revels hide bloody danger and no promise can be trusted. Meanwhile, rising tension between Shadowhunters and Downworlders has produced the Cohort, an extremist group of Shadowhunters dedicated to registering Downworlders and "unsuitable" Nephilim. They'll do anything in their power to expose Julian's secrets and take the Los Angeles Institute for their own. When Downworlders turn against the Clave, a new threat rises in the form of the Lord of Shadows--the Unseelie King, who sends his greatest warriors to slaughter those with Blackthorn blood and seize the Black Volume. As dangers close in, Julian devises a risky scheme that depends on the cooperation of an unpredictable enemy. But success may come with a price he and Emma cannot even imagine, one that will bring with it a reckoning of blood that could have repercussions for everyone and everything they hold dear.

Cassandra Clare is one of my favourite authors and I feel that her writing just gets better and better with every book. Lord of Shadows is packed full of amazing characters with secrets and its great to see how they interact with each other and their relationships form. Plus I'm always a fan of novels that include relationships that aren't just male/female. Can't wait for the last book in the trilogy.

That ending just broke me. I can't go on. This book was a great sequel and I’m excited to see how the trilogy will wrap up.
