The below reviews are intended to be short, and easily read within 1 minute. All reviews are my own personal opinions, and I would love everyone to share their opinions as well. I read a lot of Fantasy Books (with the occasional historical fiction and thrilled thrown in), therefore my reviews are generally based on 3 things:
World Building - Is the world of the book worth spending time in?
Characters - Am I able to connect with the characters, or find them interesting?
Plot - Is the plot engaging and does it leave me wanting more?
The Bane Chronicles
Starting in the 1700’s and ending in modern times, these stories help us to understand everything that Magnus has lived through… his troubles, his triumphs, his adventures, his heartbreaks, and everything in between.
Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy
The stories in this book provide great context for both main and side characters in the Shadowhunter world. While not a “must read”, I do think it will be enjoyed by any Shadowhunter fan.
Queen of Air and Darkness
There is so much plot packed into this book - romance, sex, death, betrayal, angels, demons, alternate dimensions… everything you’ve come to love from the Shadowhunter world. There are so many characters, and so many story-lines that I had no idea what was going to happen, or how anything was going to be resolved.
Lord of Shadows
Emma Carstairs, Julian Blackthorn, and their family and friends have solved the mystery of the murders from the previous book. This opens up a whole new set of issues and even greater obstacles that they will need to overcome in order to finally be safe.
Lady Midnight
At it’s core, this book is a murder mystery. Emma and the Blackthorns race against time to try and find out who is committing murders around Los Angeles, and why.
