Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
5.0
The thing at the end? I will recover.
The thing about Mark? Hahahahaha NO. NOT EVER.
So I went to the gym yesterday wanting to be athletic and fit just like Emma, Cristina and Julian. I worked out and now I could barely stand. My legs hurt, my arms hurt, my stomach hurts. Everything hurts. It's probably the biggest mistake of my life.
I'm one of the very few people who read all of Cassandra Clare's books starting from TID, TMI, Shadowhunter Tales, Codex, Illustrations (name it, I have it!) I honestly thought that she was one of the best authors there is until I read books better than hers and I now realized that her writing style wasn't that good after all. It was tedious at times, the characters are too much of this and too much of that but that didn't prevent me from reading her newly published books.
I waited for almost eight months before reading this novel mainly because I was afraid of being stranded with a huge book that I couldn't finish. But hell boy! A lot of good things happened in this book;
1. Cassandra Clare's writing style improved immensely.
2. The characters were so lovable! Not too good nor too bad. Not too perfect nor too flawed.
3. Stories from the Tales of Shadowhunters were vaguely mentioned but they were there, if you know where to search.
4. The characters strived for the skills that they have. (unlike some *ehem* Jace *ehem* Clary who were born with it)
5. The plotwists were so gooooood! Especially that thing about Mark. Hahaha I'll never get over with that I swear.
Everyone's making a fuzz about Emma and Julian but I seriously love Cristina more. Her calm, her grace, her strength. I love everything about her! I love her more than Emma (peace) So it wasn't a shocker that I was more upset to the fact that my ship MARTINA just sunk into oblivion (I hope that it's salvageable though) than to the LQ that happened at the end of this book.
The ending hurts a bit but I'll live.
#MARTINA all the way!!!
PS: I will never ever go to the gym again. The ideas this book puts into my mind. Urggh!
