It is strange to finally be reaching the end of my Shadowhunters journey. I feel like I have been reading these books for so long, and so much has happened, but I still have so much more to learn. I think overall this was my favorite start to a trilogy in the Shadowhunters world.
"Chain of Gold" mainly follows Cordelia Carstairs, a young Shadowhunter who has been trained since birth to rid the world of demons. Her mother, brother, and herself have fled to a new town, London, because her father was accused of a terrible crime, and if he is convicted, the family will not be able to live in peace. Unfortunately, London begins to be plagued by demon attacks, and these attacks are unlike any they have seen before. With her new friends by her side, Cordelia embarks on a journey to save London, and discover what is really happening in the Shadowhunter world.
It has been really fun to read all of the Shadowhunter books at my leisure, and not have to wait for the next one to come out. I have also really enjoyed seeing how Cassandra Clare's writing has improved over the series. This book was written amazingly, and I was so enthralled by the characters from page one. I really enjoyed seeing the children from previous characters and how things have evolved since we last saw them. This specific book was more intresting to me because I was really invested in Cordelia learning more about her own family and why her father was accused of this crime. I also really enjoyed her secret love plot. Like with most of Cassandra Clare's books, I did feel like it was too long, but I know the diehard fans love seeing more and being immersed entirely into this world.
I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book, because boy were there some cliffhangers I need resolved!
