Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
5.0
My rating: 4.9 / 5 ★
It might be weird that I've never read any of Cassandra Clare's previous book series, but I decided to jump into Lady Midnight even though the story still revolves around the Shadowhunter world. And you know what? I have zero regrets! I love Lady Midnight with all my heart and I feel so protective towards Emma and Julian.
If you're aware of how thick Clare's books are, imagine going through all that 600+ pages and add frustration and love into it: it was stressful to go through, I had to give almost a month to myself to digest those pages. But I ended loving it to bits, all the frustration (and aching arms) were definitely worth it. The Blackthorns are amazing and I found myself loving each family siblings because they are all unique. For a book this thick, there's just so many things that I want to say, but also want to keep to myself.
The parabatai relation between Emma and Julian is beautiful yet agonising at the same time; I love Cassandra Clare so much for making my heart wrecked for these two. I do plan on trying to start Clare's previous works (just so I can understand the other characters more) and only then continue with Lord of Shadows, but my current TBR list is already drowning me and I probably cannot afford all them books at the moment, so it's either I borrow them from a friend or buy them sometime in the future. Whatever my decision is, I will definitely come back to this series soon, for Emma and Julian.
