A review by achinglyshy
Chain of Thorns by Cassandra Clare
4.0
[ i can’t really write a review rn i need to let everything sink in but idk i keep flicking between 4 and 5 stars maybe this will have to be a 4.5
editing this twenty minutes later and now it’s teetering between a 3 and a 4….
okay!! i think i can finally write a review so here goes nothing ]
i’m going to officially give this 3.5 stars. as much as i hate the say it, i was slightly disappointed by this book. there were parts that were awesome, and i love practically all of the characters, but i really think this is a weak final book to end off the trilogy.
ik i should be happy that there was only one major death, but is it really a phenomenal shadowhunter book if i’m not crying and screaming into my pillow at 3am?? and speaking of which, i couldn’t even bring myself to stay up and finish the book on friday night, even though i was already at or around the 500 page mark.
the love triangle was really annoying, and kinda unnecessary??? grace was redeeemed with little-to-no true consequences for her actions, and kit was given literally no thought by anyone other than thomas and anna once it had been 50 pages since his death.
the emotional potential was there, but i felt like something was missing!! people have been saying alastair was originally supposed to die instead of kit (and while that would be devastating and i’m happy we got thomastair endgame (more on that later)), the subsequent events would’ve made so much more sense if alastair had died instead of kit. plus someone (matthew
