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: 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: The Nine-Chambered Heart

The Nine-Chambered Heart: Free Sampler by Janice Pariat My rating: 4 of 5 stars View all my reviews Beautifully written and absolutely acquisitive, The Nine Chambered Heart deals with exclusively vivid perspectives of 9 different characters who were in relation with the same women through her different phases of life. Our unnamed protagonist is mute throughout the story and you will never get to listen to her side of the same in this book, which makes you perceive that this could be your story or of someone you know! The entire pace of the book is completely lyrical which is Janice Pariat's style of writing and is remarkable. There are no cliffhangers and plot twists  BUT BUT  as mentioned earlier the writing will make you fall for this simple and lucid story. You will meet various perspectives in this story and not a single character is named and all their lucid memories about this young woman. The way each character describes...
