Lord of Shadows by Cassandra ClareMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
It's been ten thousand years,, but I've finally finished this book,,,//
I really liked it even though it took me longer than average to read! As much as I loved Emma and Julien's parts, I think I enjoyed Kit and the twins even more. (Also I'm really glad that Kit and Livvy didn't end up becoming a couple. They worked a lot better as friends.)
It took me a bit to get into the story, since it doesn't quickly dive into the plot of searching for the Black Volume. The story ended up being longer than it could have been, but I was okay with it! I loved seeing everyone's different perspectives of the events going on.
Also Emma and Jules ended up breaking my heart at a few scenes. The whole parabatai falling in love storyline really interested me (since we've never had it before). The whole idea of it driving them mad was really cool. (view spoiler)
He caught her by the wrist, brought her hand to his bare chest. Splayed her fingers over his heart. It beat against her palm, like a fist punching its way through his sternum. "Break my heart," he said. "Break it in pieces. I give you permission."
I also loved the representation! There weren't just white, cis, straight people. There was Christina and the Centurions. There were Magnus + Alec and Kieren + Mark. (view spoiler)
This was an amazing book. The writing of Cassandra Clare has always amazed me, and I can't wait for the next book.
