A review by milliei
Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare

5.0

A good second instalment. It doesn't beat the first one, but it doesn't have to. The pain that Clare puts her characters through is heartwrenching, she truly isn't afraid of making her favorites suffer. I really appreciate the important topics in our "mundane world" that Clare takes her time to discuss. She does it with care and I also like how she throws in casual representation without much flare. Different people just gets to exist. My only criticism is that any time Clary and Jace enters the show they are praised to be godly superheroes that look slim and tiny and perfect and can do no wrong. I would exchange all mentions of them with more Bane and a mention of Isabelle.
