The Last Hours: Chain of Iron

Product Information

i get that she was the way she was bc of the way she grew up, starved of any sort of love or affection save for jesse’s.

I though the Dark Artifices has the best book covers among the shadowhunters series, but the Last Hours is breaking that record. Anna Lightwood — the group's watchful eye and lively friend who wishes to help her friends but is also fighting off the advances of an ex-flame who broke her heart. James and Cordelia are now getting married, but it is a fake marriage to save Cordelia's reputation. I think the best way to look at Grace's personality is to compare her to the Ying Yang sign; There's a little badness in every good person just as a little goodness in every evil character. A killer starts murdering shadowhunters and all sorts of Princes of Hell shenanigans occur, can they stop the killer in time?

There’s no official date set for the next book, Chain of Thorns, but I would willingly battle 5 mandikhor demons to get my hands on a copy now!

My favorite Herondale is on the cover and Lucie is finally getting the appreciation that she deserves. oddly, the thought of daisy strengthened him: he forgot sometimes, it was daisy he was marrying, daisy with her light laugh, her gentle, familiar touch, her surprising strength. While I may be overthorizing everything, but I think this may be a future reference or foreshadowing to their relationship in the last book.and then her actually having the audacity to question james about who he was kissing in his head when grace commanded him to kiss her - yes he was imagining kissing cordelia instead cause he knew kissing you was just not right, SO WHAT. I always saw her as a complex character, I mean she has got to be one of the most well written and developed morally grey characters in YA literature. Marriage of convenience with cordilia Carstairs, as a way to repair her reputation when she lied for him. However that changed entirely when I re-read the first book, now that I've read the second book as well he has easily become a favorite character of mine.

I loved the plot of this book so much no surprise there and Cassie has tortured us on so many occassions through out the story. i think it’s funny how the mystery and the romance grabbed my attention the first time i read this, and yet this time it was the dynamics between all the characters. I love their tension , the way they see all the little details of each other and well the freaking ending. You are right of course; it is only perhaps that we worry that you are too honest-too good, and goodness can be a blade sharp enough to cut, you know, just as much as evil intent. I loved seeing Lucie so passionate about something, and the scenes they had together, including the dance, were very cute.

I've never really had strong feelings on Thomas and even though he isn't one of my favourite characters, I love him with my whole heart.

One thing that bothered me a bit is the fact that the only Institute from India is the Bombay/ Mumbai Institute that's mentioned throughout all the books in this franchise. he’s in so much pain all the time - both voluntarily and involuntarily - and i just want to shake him and hug hilm and tell him to get out of this goddamn funk of his. HOWEVER with the knowledge that I'm getting more Will (even in snippets), Cordelia and Matthew I am sold. Although I admit how Lucie’s plotline ended definitely makes me most excited for her in Chain Of Thorns!Cassandra Clare retcons things she does in her earlier work, but I'm fine with it as I go in with realistic expectations of what I'm getting and these books meet those expectations.
