A review by lyakimov
Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare
4.0
okay i expected this book to be 700 pages of boring world building but it was actually really entertaining. i had super low expectations and they were definitely met. this is my favorite cast of characters in any cassie clare series.
i loved the Persian culture and fairytales, also alastair is my KING and i LOVE HIM so much. i am such a simp for him. also we FINALLY got female friendships in a cassandra clare novel, but you better believe nobody passed the Bechdel test smhhhh
okay but whenever anyone mentioned the “Clockwork War,” i cringed so hard like BRuh that’s the worst name EVER like omg no. when i first saw it i burst out laughing, what the HELL. also there is at least 150 pages of this book that is just unnecessary descriptions of characters, especially james. Like holy shit imma be seeing his face in my SLEEP the way that miss clare describes him in excruciating detail 100000000 times every other page
lucie and cordelia are queens and i stan tf out of them. i literally love the excerpts we got from lucie’s book, she’s really writing fanfic about cordelia, AS SHE SHOULD.
i am not interested in reading groundbreaking, life shattering literature rn but this shit’s entertaining as hell and I like drama and tea and fancy early 1900s dresses, so we are vibing
