Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
5.0
Cassandra. Clare. Owns. My. Soul.
Friends, let me tell you a story. I found City of Bones sitting on my mother's bookshelf one summer day when I was probably 11 or 12. I said "Mom, this looks good, can I read it?" And so began my obsession with the Shadowhunter universe. I was absolute Shadowhunter trash. TID ripped out my heart. Then came the fateful years in high school where I went through an absolutely atrocious many-year reading slump as a result of pressure I put on myself to read more "classics," a genre which I generally dislike. I didn't read Lord of Shadows when it came out. Lady Midnight (before today) was the last Cassie Clare book I read.
Cut to today. I am delighted to announce that I am Shadowhunter trash once more.
I have only one beef (but not really, as you'll see) with Lord of Shadows, which is similar to my beef with the later TMI books -- too many characters. It's just a lot to have going on, and as a result, Lord of Shadows jumps between POVs and plot lines like crazy. This would be a beef (and probably knock my rating down to 4 stars) except I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH and I wouldn't get rid of any of them for anything. So. 5 Stars. No regrets. Cassie Clare owns my soul.
