Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare
2.0
two stars.
i didn’t like this book, to say the least. the characters were alright, but i couldn’t into it, and i felt as though there were so many characters i couldn’t keep track of who was who.
being in the world of the shadow hunters is normally my all time favorite, but this book made it unbearable. i felt as though there was no demon fighting in any way, and it was very much directed at how cordelia was so sad and cordelia this and cordelia that. if she was so upset with james being in love with grace, man the fuck up and tell him. don’t cry because you didn’t give him any hints you love him, and then sob over the fact that he doesn’t love you back. it’s incredibly irritating.
i liked how they added magnus back in this book but why? why was he there, seeing as he did nothing for the plot? he just sat there and watched them kill themselves. and adding in the greater demon at the end just for cordelia and james to “slay” him was laughable. there was just no point for it.
the ending was idiotic as well. clare tries to leave it at a cliffhanger, but we all knew that the demon wasn’t dead that easy, and it made us feel like we were stupid by adding it in. it wasn’t even a real cliffhanger seeing as nothing huge happens except a conversation. no one feels any remorse for tatiana anyway, so it doesn’t intrigue us.
i was disappointed to say the least. im not sure if i even want to go into chain of iron after this.
