A review by elisa216
Chain of Iron by Cassandra Clare

adventurous emotional mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

spoiler (not really): the pining and yearning and unrequited love have all reached a new level in this book

do I think Cassandra Clare's creativity peaked when she wrote The Infernal Devices and The Dark Artifices? yes
will I in spite of some characters being shallow and repetitive and the plot a mere repetition of other stories keep on reading every new trilogy she publishes? also yes

but love is not always a lightning bolt, is it? sometimes it is a creeping vine. it grows slowly until suddenly it is all that there is in the world.
