Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare

5.0

Okay, yeah she's making another shadowhunter series. I think it will be just as good as the rest, but just set in present day time.

But is anyone going to mention how in the description it says "...Emma has dedicated her life to the eradication of demons and being the best, fastest and deadliest Shadowhunter since Jace Lightwood." SINCE Jace? It's only been 5 years since the last series! either this means he's run away from all institutes or he's dead .

Cassie has been saying that in her upcoming books, some main characters will die... but Jace dying just makes me so sad. He's been through so much and I just want him to live happily ever after with Clary somewhere. jaksgfuiadlf *cries in a corner*


Update (12/28/2016):

As usual, I'm a sucker for shadowhunters novels. This one is no exception. I loved every damn page of this book. I love the characters, the plot, every twist and turn. It's an amazing perspective shift. Cassie sure knows what her readers love and are most curious about. So many of our questions were answered, but I'm still dying to know more. I absolutely cannot wait for the next novel. If you are a shadowhunter fan, this book will not disappoint!

P.s. it only took me so long to read because this past semester was tough for me. Glad I finally got through it though. Hopefully now since I'm on break, I can get more reading done.


Update (7/25/2018):

Oh, did I forget how good this book was. I'm glad I did a reread in preparation for (hopefully) getting the next book for my birthday. I'm so excited to see what's been going on with the crew! Trying not to read spoilers is so hard when I just want to go onto shadowhunter wiki and read all about my babies. The anticipation is killing me!

My impressions after finishing the book the second time and not remembering much (SPOILERS): I found myself suspicious of Diana, most likely because I was thinking that she was Hodge. I though that was interesting, and I didn't notice it really until a character in the book mentioned it. I very much want Emma and Christina to be parabati. I don't know how, but maybe if she does something for the clave, in return they'd be willing to forgive her and Julian and change their bond. I'm really really looking forward to see how Emma and Mark's relationship has developed. Will they actually start to fall for each other?! Unsurprisingly, I was to see more of our beloved characters from past series'. I want more of them all fighting side by side.

What a great, great novel overall. I genuinely can't think of any critiques.
