Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
4.0
3.5 / 5 stars
So I liked this a lot more than LM! The ending WRECKED me. Like I just had to sit there for a few minutes staring at the back cover, to process my emotions. I absolutely LOVE Kit, he’s so precious and funny, and lives up to the Herondale name! I feel a little too old to crush on him so instead I think of him as a thing to protect. I also loved his dynamic with Ty, it’s cute how confused he is about his blatantly obvious crush, and I’m excited to see how that pans out (or should I say bi?) Mark, Christina and Kieran were all great! And I really developed a love for Emma!
(This could contain mild spoilers, though I did my best to avoid them)
Julian, however, made me rather uneasy. I don’t know if it was intended or if it’s just my own interpretation, but he could be rather possessive, violent and cold in a way that made me a little anxious at times. For example, at one point he is mad at Emma for bringing something up and he breaks a glass, or another time where Emma is taking about something rather traumatic and he’s thinking about her body and trying to cover a b*ner with a pillow. He just rubbed me the wrong way a lot of the time, but I’m still conflicted because of how great his dynamic is with his siblings.
