Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
4.0
Cassie does it again with another wonderful shadowhunter book! I always love traveling to the shadowhunter world and seeing what's happening to new and old friends. One of the aspects I enjoyed about this book is that new readers to the world shouldn't feel like they have to pick up the old books to know what's going on. You see the heroes of stories past but they are definitely not the main focus. Though I will admit I would strongly recommend reading The Infernal Devices but that's because I love that story. Also The Bane Chronicles because Magnus is all around amazing. But I digress.
This story is a whole new set of heroes and a whole new set of problems and villains. I really enjoyed getting to know a little bit of all of the characters in this first book. All new pairings and who I want to end up with who. Though it's so hard because honestly, I like all of the characters! So I'll be satisfied with whatever Cassie has planned. That's another thing I enjoyed, I really like all of the characters right away and I'm excited to see what's going to happen to all of them.
I personally feel like.. the Clave..? might be the villain in this series? I'm not sure, I could be completely wrong but I feel like the Clave needs to change their ways. So we'll see what happens. I'd be really happy if they changed some things about themselves but that's what causes conflict! And a lot for the Blackthorn family. Though one of their laws definitely makes sense, but I won't spoil that!
I hope to see Emma develop a little bit more so maybe we'll get more of that in the next books. Especially after she found out who and why her parents were murdered. As morbid as it sounds I'm interested to see if that will change her at all?
All in all this was a really good first book! Cassandra Clare is one of my favorite authors so I will of course be buying the next book in the series to see what happens. Plus, I WANNA KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
