Chain of Thorns by Cassandra Clare
3.0

oh man? let me start off by saying im an avid cc fan and tid is probably the book series closest to my heart. that being said . THIS SERIES MADE ME SO UNBELIEVABLY FRUSTRATED. i genuinely only cared about matthew and thomastairs throughout the whole series. book number 2 was honestly good, especially in the ending when the plot picked up the pace. but book number 3 let me down more than i thought. first of all. i rly love matthew soo much hes my fav character but cc did him so dirty at the end like WHERE IS HE GOING. dont even get me started on kit. plus i think she wanted to replicate herongraystairs at least to a little extent but No One Will Ever be herongraystairs im sorry! even the parabatai bond between james and matthew pales in comparison to will and jem. i did like seeing the relationship between james and matthew nearing the end but in the back of my mind i would be like “will would never do this to jem” or vice versa. the love triangle in chog made my head POUND like i dont even consider herongraystairs as a love triangle bc the whole premise was that they loved each other so so much and EQUALLY . but girl . i had to start skimming some chapters bc i was sat there dumbfounded bc What. as far as plot goes i enjoyed it cc never disappoints with plot. but some deaths were just like why exactly did this happen. AND THE MOURNING FOR THE DEATHS. WHY DID NO ONE CARE ??? when a certain character died and everyone just moved on ? And we didnt even see the parents finding out. i would’ve wanted to see more of the anguish of losing someone you grew up with. shadowhunters or not, grief is something you cant escape. emotionally, i didnt feel connected to any of the characters except matthew alastair and thomas. matthew was such a fun character to read about and 2/3 quotes i wrote down were from him. i loveeee him my baby fr yall. in my head he has done nothing wrong . and thomas and alastair <3 CUTIE PATOOTIES ! majority of the time i wondered whether i truly liked the characters or if i cared abt them simply because they were will and tessa’s children. anyway ending this by saying i do not regret reading this and i had a lot of fun with it !
