A review by theheavenlydevices
Koningin van Lucht en Duisternis by Cassandra Clare

5.0

Whoo, this book! I honestly have no clue where to start. So many things happened in this book and in the end I even asked myself why I read +2000 pages TO GET AN OPEN ENDING? Yes some things are finally cleared out, but we got two or three major new problems. So in the end everything was peaceful again (okay not quite, but when is it ever in the Shadowworld?), but I felt a little uneasy because it's not the end. Now I can't wait until The Wicked Powers, that I initially didn't thought I would anticipate (why did I even think that, seriously?).

I won't say much about everything that happened because SO much happened, but I loved that we got to see more of Faerie and and a parallel world! I have always found those other worlds really intriguing. I also want to mention how crazy it is that Cassie finds solutions to all the problems she makes in her books haha! Every time I'm like: 'How's she going to fix this now because I have no idea.' I loved that we got to see the battle through different perspectives (actually the whole book as well), because it made it even more exciting.

About the characters: I kinda ship Dru and Jaime? I know Dru's still young and Jaime treats her differently now he knows she's still 13, but I ship it? Sorry? Sorry not sorry? I love that Cassie gave Dru the attention she deserved. I also hope to see more of her in TWP, but I don't doubt that as she has already met Ash (btw Ash was the plottwist of the year, what was that even?). I also have to admit that I don't ship Kit and Ty, but I would love them as best friends. It's so sad to see their ways part, but we all know they will get back together. Another reason why I felt uneasy and sad in the end is because all the Blackthorns ever wanted, was getting their family back together, but now they're all leaving.

One little negative remark: I didn't like Jem in the book. It was kind of irritating. How can I not like Jem? I always find it strange to see older characters return, because they don't feel the same, but for some reason I disliked Jem.

Okay this review feels messy (sorry!), but I think you get the memo: this book is amazing. GO READ IT.
