BOOK REVIEW: Chain of Gold (The Last Hours, #1), by Cassandra Clare ~ I need the second book… Yesterday! *SPOILER FREE*
“That’s everyone’s dream, isn’t it? Instead of many who give you little pieces of themselves–one who gives you everything.”
~ Chain of Gold (The Last Hours, #1), by Cassie Clare
Hello awesome nerds, happy Thursday everyone and welcome to the first review of 2021!
It’s been a while since I wrote a review here, but that was probably because I was in a reading slump, I wasn’t reading that many books towards the end of last year and the books that I actually read weren’t that interesting. Yet, all that changed when I started reading Chain of Gold, the first book in The Last Hours series, by Cassandra Clare.
“Chain of Gold, a Shadowhunters novel, is the first novel in a brand-new trilogy where evil hides in plain sight and love cuts deeper than any blade.
Cordelia Carstairs is a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained since childhood to battle demons. When her father is accused of a terrible crime, she and her brother travel to London in hopes of preventing the family’s ruin. Cordelia’s mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is determined to be a hero rather than a bride. Soon Cordelia encounters childhood friends James and Lucie Herondale and is drawn into their world of glittering ballrooms, secret assignations, and supernatural salons, where vampires and warlocks mingle with mermaids and magicians. All the while, she must hide her secret love for James, who is sworn to marry someone else.
But Cordelia’s new life is blown apart when a shocking series of demon attacks devastate London. These monsters are nothing like those Shadowhunters have fought before—these demons walk in daylight, strike down the unwary with incurable poison, and seem impossible to kill. London is immediately quarantined. Trapped in the city, Cordelia and her friends discover that their own connection to a dark legacy has gifted them with incredible powers—and forced a brutal choice that will reveal the true cruel price of being a hero.”
*DISCLAIMER. ALTHOUGH THIS REVIEW WILL BE SPOILER FREE, HECTIC SPOILERS FROM PREVIOUS SHADOWHUNTERS BOOKS MAY BE MENTIONED IN THE REVIEW. PROCEED WITH CAUTION.*
As many of you know, Cassandra Clare has been my instant-buy author for many years now (I believe since 2010). And over the years I grew so fond of her characters and stories, that I truly wished these stories were real. But what am I saying? All the stories are true.
