Cassandra Clare has a way of making me gasp out loud and shriek with glee like no few other authors can because she uses tropes and twists so well—truly, Clare is able to weaponize those tropes and use them to devastate a reader in the best and worst ways.   

I wasn’t quite as invested in “The Last Hours” series as I have been in the other series within the Shadowhunter Chronicles (Nothing holds a candle to you, “The Dark Artifices,” my beloved). But I still enjoyed reading “Chain of Gold” and am looking forward to reading “Chain of Iron.”
