Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
3.0
Lady Midnight starts slowly, focussing mainly on Julian + Emma's relationship. As parabatai they are forbidden to fall in love, but they do... and it takes forever for them to admit it to each other, which to me made the first half of the book quite annoying to read.
It started off on such a good interesting note, with action and new characters and Shadowhunters actually doing their job, and then turned into your typical teenage I love my best friend but they can't ever know because they'd hate me for it story.
Eventually everything swung back around, and then it became a great read - like any other Shadowhunters novel by Cassie. I'm hoping to learn more about Cristina and her past in the future, Keiran and Mark are my absolute favorites, and I can't wait to see how things progress in Lord of Shadows.
I like the note on which the book ended, although at first I felt like the end was dragged out unnecessarily. I'm curious how things progress for Ty, who is precious in every way. Is he going to give in and become Livvy's parabatai? He probably won't be able to go to the scholomace like he wanted, but I think LoS will have more in store for him.
If it hadn't been for the tedious first half, I would've given this book four stars.
