In a kingdom by the sea…


Can I tell you how thrilled I am that I have FINALLY read Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare? I seriously don’t know why it took me so long to read this book, as Cassandra Clare is an auto-buy author for me, and this is the first book of hers that I’ve not dropped everything I’m doing to read as quickly as possible. It’s been sitting on my bookshelf for too long, and I was determined to finally read it. I’m SO glad that I did!!

The storyline for the book follows along the same lines as The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices series, though it was a new set of characters and a new journey for them all as well. But, while the story was new, it felt so familiar as well, and I really enjoyed being back in the Shadowhunter world again. Once I started the book, I was completely hooked, and I couldn’t focus on anything else until I finally finished it. And now, of course, I’m dying to start Lord of Shadows, though I’m trying to hold off so I can read a few of the other books on my TBR this month.

I really loved all the new characters in the story. Emma is quite a bad-ass Shadowhunter, and I love her strength and determination throughout the story. I really love Julian as well, though he has WAY more responsibilities than any teenager should have, but that made me appreciate him even more. The relationship between the two was interesting, especially considering they are parabatai, and I’m super curious to see where things are going to go for the two of them. Also, there are SO many secondary characters that I love in the story as well. AND I loved the cameos from the characters from the previous books as well! Those were perfection.

Overall; I feel like this review is just me gushing about how much I loved Lady Midnight, and yep, that’s pretty much all this is. Ha!! I’m so glad that I finally read the book, and I can’t wait to get started on Lord of Shadows, even though I know that will just make me pine away for The Queen of Air and Darkness, the third book in the series, which is not going to be released for a while. Sigh! I can’t wait!! If you love Cassandra Clare’s previous series and you’ve not yet read this book, DO IT NOW!! Then come back and tell me what you think. *grin* Labels: Books Reviewed in 2017, Cassandra Clare, Margaret K. McElderry, Paranormal, Simon and Schuster, Young Adult
