Review: Lady Midnight

Lady Midnight Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My favourite part about Cassie Clare's novel is that I get to see my precious child, Jem Carstairs in each of her works.

The entire Parabatai lively and soulful part turns out to be a scary horror story when it is revealed at the end of the book why Parabatai can't engage in romantic love. Well, the reason was far more horrific than expected, because anyway half of the Clave's rules don't make any sense.
Insert Law. "The Law is Hard. But it is the law."


There's a very prominent reference made from the clockwork prince.
The Parabatai law mentions two names, Silas Pangborn and Eloisa Ravenscar. They both were parabatai and fell in love with each other. In 1857 the Clave meeting was held in London Institute which was witnessed by Magnus Bane.
Silas Pangborn was the brother of Barbara Pangborn(mother of Gabriel Lightwood and wife of Benedict Lightwood). Silas committed suicide because he can't stand the chance of being away from his love. After this incident, his sister Barbara too died.
Benedict manipulated this information and spread it as Grandville Fairchild(Charlotte Fairchild's father), Silas's best friend revealed this information to Clave, Silas took his life because of shame and so did his sister.
But the actual truth was Grandville Fairchild never did it.
Barbara Lightwood got infected with Demon Pox because of her husband Benedict Lightwood and thus she died. Benedict hid this thing from his children and encouraged his kids to take revenge on Fairchilds.

Review: The Shadows Between Us

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller My rating: 3 of 5 stars View all my reviews This is the story of a girl who doesn't want a prince charming or a king. She wants to be the queen and a kingdom to rule! The Shadows Between Us is a Slytherin Romance, tracing our morally dark protagonists Alessandra and The Shadow King, Kallias, and their journey to fall in love. Let's start with something beautiful. “They've never found the body of the first and only boy who broke my heart. And they never will.” For something claiming to be dark and morbid, this is pretty light. There are several areas of the book that is being touched from the surface and left as it is. For instance, our central characters, Alessandra and Kallias. Both of them are shown as dark & morally grey, but there is no justification given behind their behavior, their psychology. They are being simply shown it's the way both of them are. Coupled with t...

Review: Queen of Air and Darkness

Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare My rating: 5 of 5 stars The amount of pain this book has driven me through is immersive!!! Especially in the first part of the book. Where everything started falling apart, and later in the second part things started to get a little better, it started getting more and more worse. Out of 900 pages, only the last 100 pages were kind of relief and happy-happy moment, yet you are always scared because Cassie can do literally anything in the last 10 pages and be like "Oh I don't think it is such a big deal, ykr I can do worse?!" Also, the epilogue. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! I want an explanation of what is going to happen. This Jace from parallel dimension Thule, he's after Clary now. Gosh. My head is already breaking. There were many moments in this book, which made me sob like a maniac. The starting itself was so chaotic, with the death of Robert Lightwood, Livia Blackthorn. During the funera...

Review: City of Ashes

City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare My rating: 5 of 5 stars View all my reviews The second book in the Mortal Instruments series begins where the Downworlder's kids were being attacked in the city and the blood is drained out of them. Dealing with their complex sibling relationship, both Jace and Clary are stuck in the complexities of their life, where Jocelyn is still in the hospital brain-dead and Marsyn Lightwood starts throwing shade on Jace for being Valentine's son. This complex the situation with the Inquisitor's arrival in the Institute who accuses Jace of involving in Valentine's plan. The plot starts to develop so well in the City of Ashes that refuses to reader to drop the plan of not completing the series. The story is gripping in the first 20 pages itself where the readers come across the inevitable dilemmas of both the protagonists. Later, the plot thickens in an adventurous manner. It is indeed very conspirin...
