A review by missemleigh
Chain of Iron by Cassandra Clare
5.0
4.5/5 stars - Cassandra Clare's books are transportation devices to 14 year old middle-school Emma and I can't get enough of it. I (as always) has a blast reading this series, and even though I read more high/adult fantasy these days, these books still bring just as much joy. This did not disappoint in the amount of teenage angst, demon-fighting and scenes that make me want to throw my ebook across the room. So sad that this will end with the next book!! :(

spoilery thoughts:
- I wish at least ONE COUPLE WOULD JUST BE HAPPY oh my GOD the dramatic irony is just too much
- book opens with the wedding
- Elias, Cordelias father returns, but he is still relapsing and is violent towards James
- James falls back into the shadow realm and is seeing through Jesse's eyes the murders happening in London
- belial left an anchor on Jesse to posses him and create a half demon half shadowhunter to defeat Cortana, but Cordelia took an oath (to who she thought was Wayland the smith) but turns out to be Lilith, and now shes her PALADIN!!!
- Jesse aka Belial killed shadow hunters in the shape of an insignia/rune and those marks then appeared on Jesse's corpse
- Tatiana brings Belial the key to the iron tombs and he takes her away from the citadel and iron sisterhood
- Matthew is still drunk, Christopher and grace see eachother as equals (without her weird spell) Thomas and Alastair get together after the mortal sword/suspect incident, Anna and adriadne are denying their LOVE!!!
- Lucie's power with the dead is getting stronger: wiping memories, commanding them, raising them
- James finally breaks graces bracelet and he and Cordelia have a few moments for themselves throughout the book but she flees to Paris with Matthew after hearing grace and James talk (but James is now angry at grace and the spell isnt working)
- there's so many more things but I'm sure Christine's book talk will be a good resource before reading book 2, and I bookmarked in iBooks major plot points
