Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare

5.0

OH MY GOD! Oh my god. I just don't know what to say the ending had me SHOOK! The plot is really good. I really enjoyed how everything ties in together. There are connections that I did not foresee, that I didn't think of. I didn't think that the plot of the first book would impact much the plot / villain for the second book. But I can see that it's a huge overarching story everything is interconnected and I think it was really well done! I enjoyed the plot, and I love all of the characters. It was a little bit hard to read Kit's perspective just because I didn't really care too much for him and the twins? I don't know why. I like the twins, but when all three of them are together I just didn't really care when it came to their time. I think I was just too invested in what was happening with Christina, Mark, and Kieran, and with Emma, Julian, Magnus, and Alec. The subplot of a fascist shadowhunter group was not something I expected but I think it was handled really well! It was written really well, and very much reflective of the hate Trump had supported and in fact, encouraged during his presidency
