Lord of Shadows The Dark Artifices Cassandra Clare Books

The story kept your interest throughout the entire 699 pages of the book, as usual with Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter books. I have always loved the unique story lines and twisting plots. This book did not disappoint. Seldom did the action or story plot slow and I look forward to the next book. I, however, didn't feel she handled the social issues in the story as elegantly as in past books. In this book it was very obvious she wasn't just telling a story but wanted to make a moral commentary/point or stand. It's not that I mind her taking a stand or dislike the moral to her story. I'm just saddened to see she took a commercial outward stance when in previous books she took moral stances and subjects and handle them in an original, elegant, and classy fashion. This book seemed geared to commercialism and hitting her reader over the head with her moral and social opinions and commentary, the story line seemed secondary.

Lord of Shadows The Dark Artifices Cassandra Clare Books Reviews

While I love Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter series, this is the first time I have ever found myself skimming and skipping pages in one of them. There are many great things about this latest installment -- I loved some of the character development -- but I felt like she was overreaching in what she was trying to cover and that some themes were overdone. First, it seems like almost everyone was a couple or a potential couple. I just can't get invested in that many potential relationships in one book. Second, it seemed like it was a real kitchen sink of relationship possibilities and the handling of them, including the more nontraditional, seemed almost ham-fisted for her. I've previously admired Clare for how naturally she's introduced alternative relationships and made space for everyone. In this book, though, I felt like she was working hard to check off a bunch of boxes and do a three card monte with some of the characters so you didn't know who you should get invested in. It got so distracting that I started wondering about what was next -- Windspear and Church? A Wild Hunt three way with Cristina? The pages of angst devoted to all these throbbing and sometimes thwarted relationships started to feel repetitive and I started skipping.

However, I do love the Shadowhunter world and the series so while I'm a little meh on this particular book, I will still be anxiously awaiting the next installment.
what a cliffhanger Lord of shadows was. Once again I felt I was thrown into the world of Shadowhunters, Fairies and Warlocks. From Start to Finish I couldn't put it down.
Like Lady Midnight, it was full of adventure, love, Family, friendship and a lot of heartache and sacrifice. Aw the feels so many feels with this book. Whether it was with Julian and Emma or Mark, Kieran and Christina, along with Ty Livvy and Kit.
I felt like this story we learned more and more about the Blackthorns and Malcom Fade, and what really happened between he and Annabelle Blackthorn. I felt that Cassie Clare really touched more upon what is means to be Parabati and the sacrifices that comes with that.
With Lord of shadows Kit aka Christopher Herondale really starts to embrace being a shadowhunter and getting to know who his family is and who is ancestors were.
I love how intertwined The Dark Artifces, the Infernal Devices and The Mortal Instruments are. The end of the book broke my heart. So much craziness ensues and the ending oh the ending. I can't wait to read the Final Book. I can't believe we have to wait a year!!!!
Note, I will be petty when put together the books should have an image that is complete. This book is not the spine art I was hoping for and will tower over the other books in her previous series.
If you were getting this in hopes of completing the spine art- this is NOT the book.
So I don't know how I am going to write this review since I just finished Lord of Shadows, but I am going to attempt to while my heart is still broken. This review will have little to no spoilers. I do not know how Cassandra Clare can get better and better with each book she writes. Lord of Shadows just shows so much growth in her writing and storytelling and honestly it warms my heart. Lords of Shadows picks up a couple weeks later after the events of Lady Midnight and it is one emotional roller coaster from then on. This is by far the strongest Shadowhunter book to date. While their are somethings I am not on board with, that in no way derails how wonderful this book truly is. The Blackthorn family has captured my heart and I love them dearly. I love every aspect of how close they are and the idea that every single one of them will do anything to keep their family together. I couldn't ask for a better cast of characters to read about. From Emma and Christina to Kit and Diana who all bring something to the table that is new and fresh to this world!! The plot to Lord of Shadows is probably the darkest, in my opinion, of all the Shadowhunter novels. From beginning to end I feared for my babies and was so worried for each and every one of them. At times I was yelling at the book to the point where my parents yelled at me that it was just a book, to where I replied that they didn't understand the deep connection I feel for this story!! I am not ready for the two year wait for The Queen of Air and Darkness because that ending has me all screwed up!!!!
