“You are all that exists on the earth and under the sky that I do love.” Plus, you all know that fae princes are literally my greatest weakness in this life, so…. ➽ Kieran - My dude really messed up in the middle of this book, but my subconscious just falls in love with all the queer faeries Seriously, it is beyond my control at this point. “Why lie?” is now my favorite ending line of every book and I will be haunted. ➽ Mark Blackthorn - Mark Blackthorn is responsible for 90% of the angst I felt in this book. And if my heart was a canvas, every square inch of it would be painted over with you.” And some of his one-liners? God, I was swooning so hard.

Also, full disclosure, I’ve had a thing for the “dark haired, broody, tortured artist” type since high school and Adrian from Vampire Academy and Julian really is the epitome of that, too. Too pure for this world and all the Shadowhunters. ➽ Julian Blackthorn - My soft, sweet boy. Easily my favorite character in all of Cassie Clare’s books. I’m not joking, I actually like her that much. ➽ Emma Carstairs - My queen, my love, my entire heart. (Perfect art by Loweana - who seriously makes my favorite art for every single fandom The Cruel Prince, Six of Crows, and now The Dark Artifices!)
#The conscious reader 12th edition slugbook series
Please use caution reading the rest of this review if you have not read this book and all the series leading up to this book! And as always, I’m going to do a little mini character breakdown on my thoughts and feelings on all the main characters in this book. Also, yes, you need to read all eleven books leading up to his one, truly. Cassandra Clare is just perfecting her writing, her stories, her characters, her plot twists, and her diversity with every single book. But it is so expertly done, that you’ll ask for more and say please while doing so. It is filled with angst, heartbreak, and pain. Lady Midnight is truly a book all about forbidden love. And we are thrown into a world of ley lines, sacrificial killings, necromancer magic, and a baffling puzzle that Emma and the gang need to figure out quickly. That is, until they get an offer that they can’t refuse. But it has been five years since then, and the Cold Peace is still being held up by the Shadowhunters, making it so no one can help or work with the fae.Įmma and the Blackthorns are living back at the LA Institute, and upholding that law even though they know it’s wrong. Basically, in Lady Midnight Emma is still unable to let the mysterious deaths of her parents go unsolved, even though everyone else thinks they were just the first casualties of the start of the Dark War. And this is easily the best book I’ve read from Cassie Clare yet.īut I went into this brand-new series, that has been building up in the previous series for some time now, never expecting the main story to be about a secret murderous cult. This world just gets more complex, the banter gets funnier, the cast gets more diverse, and the stories get more and more enthralling. And honestly this was one of the best things I’ve read all year. Lady Midnight was completely worth me reading eleven back-list Cassie Clare titles for.
