A review by ainslieruhl
Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare

adventurous emotional mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

i am nothing if not a cassandra clare enjoyer, and this book did not detract my feelings. this book had all my favourite things (found family!!!!!) and it absolutely did not feel like 700 pages. i flew through it and there was never a dull moment. bonus: i love the cameos from the mortal instruments and infernal devices characters

my only critique is that we don’t really get to see the flaws of our main characters (emma & julian) really fleshed out or even existent. julian is what? too caring? lies to protect his family? don’t get me wrong, julian is lovely, but i find it hard to relate to him as a character beyond the shared eldest sibling energy. 

i’m curious to see where the series goes and will be continuing!
