Ghosts of the Shadow Market by Cassandra Clare
4.0

DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS FOR THE DARK ARTIFICES AND CHAIN OF GOLD
I am so happy that my need to have matching books stopped me from buying this until the paperback version was available because I would've spoiled a lot of TDA for myself.

Cast Long Shadows - 4 stars
Every Exquisite Thing - 5 stars
Learn About Loss - 3 stars
A Deeper Love - 3.5 stars
The Wicked Ones - 3.5 stars
Son of the Dawn - 3.5 stars
The Land I Lost - 5 stars
Through Blood, Through Fire - 4 stars
The Lost World - 3.5 stars
Forever Fallen - 3.5 stars

Notes throughout:
So if Magnus' dad is Asmodeus, King of Hell and Tessa's dad is a Prince of Hell (brother to Asmodeus), does this mean that Tessa and Magnus are cousins?

The Heron necklace on the cover is for the Lost Herondales

Why are the fey so interested in the Herondales? Is it because of Roland Herondale, his faerie wife and their child? EDIT: It is because she is the First Heir

Rosemary is Kit's mum

Cordelia Carstairs knew Lily Chen? Are we going to see Lily in Chain of Iron?

Auraline was the First Heir (child of the Unseelie King and Seelie Queen) and she got with Roland (who's a Herondale) and had a kid. Wow that kid and the rest of the line is going to have such a wonderful non-chaotic life(!)

How did they get out and in of Idris to spy on everyone? Can it go both ways if the people outside Idris try?

Kit shushing Mina to sleep made me tear up.
