LADY MIDNIGHT BY CASSANDRA CLARE_ BOOK REVIEW & DICUSSION

**The World of Shadowhunters and Demons**

Let me do this or she's gonna be like hey I'm here let me just be a friend let me try to help out I've taught at Malcolm or she's gonna be someone different no recollection of who she is I'm just being deaf for so long looking to do so many ways honestly because raising the dead that's some dark joke okay so we don't know what's gonna happen with that we honestly don't am i interested yeah so I love how to know if she's gonna be a villain or she's gonna be something different or as well as Malcolm you know he can realize that if Annabelle is really not herself anymore he could be like oh crap I did something really bad you know that could happen and very well that may happen so there's just so many things and Danny you know let's talk about her diana is the tutor of the whole on the crews of the black swords and stuff and there has been so much mystery about Diana she went Thailand for her like abroad or or something and something obviously happened there but that hasn't made her like not trusted or she did something wrong you know I don't know I hope we figure out more we probably will obviously about her and her you know secret sister I see more of the siblings I love the sibling waxing they are awesome Thai and lovey and you know a little Taggy and drew I think they're just a really great cast of supporting characters and I loved them.

**The New Characters and Plot Twists**

The very beginning of the book we get into just this new guy kit and his dad is Johnny broke a broke is just the sneaky guy that does horrible things and bad things and a lot of stuff so you don't really know much about it like the first chapter you get a very glimpse into it you're like who is this dude I don't want to get into the story so body would be more in this story but we get to like the end and we finally figure out who kid is and he is the lost hair in our know his dad is lost hair and dog or kid is a lost hair and I forget which one's the lost hair and oh that's the part where I didn't really understand it that much because it was in the tail of the Shadowhunter Academy and it was a novella and I didn't read it so I didn't know what the whole big deal about it was it's like he's a hearing death in general there are much little big deal because we don't see them them touch and you know kit is now at the Institute and he's a Shadowhunter and he's a herring nail so I'm interested in seeing how that's gonna fail because that's cool so I can't wait to read the novella as well to see how that really affects everything because it's obviously a huge deal.

**The Return of Old Friends**

We see tests that we see gem we see Jace we see Claire we see Simon or we see you know madness you see like all of her friends a lot of other interweaving but they're not they're too much to take away from the story because I personally like that we have a whole new set of characters to fall in love with and much as I love the old game I wanted to see a new game to fall in love with them and you know and that's just how it is and I think she did it perfectly how you know you get glimpses of it here and there but you know obviously it's more Emma Julian story and how you know it's all about them and they're in students like I said I love this book so much I move so sad it's over and I'm so sad about how she wrecks your part but I feel confidence by the last book everything we pieced together just right because Cassandra Clare it's not a brick heart this she also knows how to rebuild it back together at the end so I fooled trust in that so I'm not before it.

**Favorite Characters and Themes**

Please only who's your favorite character from this new series I'm Anne MacGregor and through love her love Julian even though the dudes kind of like the end with him trying to pin that other guy on things and then he was just very like concise and helping his family that kind of freaks me out but I'm like Wallace family I also do the same thing to protect my family and my kids and my siblings that's just that's how it goes overall again like I said I love this 10 out of 5 stars 15 out of 5 stars loved this book please let me go thought about it let's have a chat let's talk he's going to do a thumbs up and subscribe to see more bookish tenderly and I will see you later bye

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everyone today I'm here to talk about lady midnight by Cassandra Clare and I have a lot to say so buckle in and stay a while because her be a very lengthy video if you don't know about lady midnight it is the new Shadowhunters it's a new series by Cassandra Clare so if you're not aware she's written The Mortal Instruments series as well as the Infernal Devices and now this new one called the dark artifice and the first book is called lady midnight obviously and that's what we're talking about who will say if you have not read the Mortal Instruments or it firmly license do watch this video in fact you know don't even if you want to start with the Shadowhunters Oh like that and think this is a good one to step in I honestly don't think it's a good free I think you need to read the previous ones because there are so many inch of 20 characters and back stories that you're just gonna be confused about and not understand and all that stuff so I highly recommend reading the world instrument and then they form Isis actually there's the whole thing of how you should read them I will link it down below on her website where and what order you should read them because like I said they're intertwining like you need to read this book and then it's like angel and in this book and then copper print and in this book and it's confusing but if you haven't read all of those books hello I will talk briefly briefly spoiler-free and now I will talk about spoilers so just prepare for that so this new series this fall is a whole new set of people and I for one was very nervous about it but I loved it so we followed pretty much our main characters are Emma and Julian Emma is a Carstairs if you are from where us out with back stories like that that's awesome and Julian is Julian Blackthorne actually get a brief introduction to Julie to Julian and Emma and the last book of the more intricate serious city of heavenly fire and we learn a little bit about their past about Hema his parents died by Sebastian and also how Julian's dad died and all that kind of stuff so we know we already know about them pretty much you know a little bit about it so we're not thrust in completely into these new characters well we know a little bit about their backstory so pretty much where this picks off is after the Mortal Instruments you know it's been some time it's been like I want to separate like five years later when that whole war began with Sebastian and above a bluff and we are following and emma is very fixated on her parents murders the claim and everyone is telling her that Sebastian killed her parents she does not believe that she's always known that something has not been right and all of a sudden all these random people like theories and other people are showing up like dead like their hands are cut off they have wounds on their body it's just really bizarre it's like it's exactly like her parents death so she starts to wonder something is not right something is not connecting that's one whole premise of this book it's having all these murders having them connect to Emma's parents deaths that's how it all kind of ties together that's our main plot of this point of course there's so many different plots because it wouldn't be an amazing house entre Claire book there wasn't like 50 closet for you to love and I write so that is the pretty much gist of it so I guess that we have a whole new set of characters again Emma who is a very strong-willed very amazing character very type of different from our previous two heroines and different um series Clinton was very steadfast she was kind of nervous but she made a lot of like rash decisions is why I love Cleary but there's a lot of me that doesn't want Claire because she didn't like to think about things she just did not do it she just I don't know she had a lot of hesitancy to see I love Clary and then we then we had text oh my love Jackson Tessa was very timid at first he was very quiet and gentle and ephah it's like the complete opposite emma is strong-willed she is sassy is she reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer there I said it like her sassy remarks and everything I'm like is this Buffy I really because this is awesome I love her because Buffy is strong and she knows she's strong and she knows that she has great sarcasm I mean love it so I loved Emma let me have Julian Julian is a black thorn and he if you have read the last book I'm just gonna act like you have okay we're talking as if you've ever write them that's okay so you know that Julian has been taking care of his siblings and holy crap there's a lot of black story so let's just go through the roster real quick so first we have marks told us then it talent then it's Julian then it's the two sibling that's the two twins Tai and Lenny then drew then tabby I think it's it seven kids so pretty much what happens after a Sebastian does whatever they said mark to the dirt to Wild Hunt with fair they sent Helen - Ringo Island and so pretty much Julia's love to take care of life what one two three four children and tabby was 22 at the time so he has pretty much had this huge burden on him plays past five years and all this craziness happens and it's just insane this book its name I will say when I first got this book I was like holy crap it's gonna take me a month to read this because I don't have time to read I have a kid what is what is time usually when he naps I either work or I'm cleaning or something but no this whole past week we need not oh my god guys to reach and have happens to me so I finished this book in like four days as opposed to my time I thought it would be in a month so I have not read this book you need to read it I will say this is the best first book in a Cassandra Clare's series I've ever read like I really like City of Bones when I first read it but I wasn't like overly there was a lot of information you know as with any new fantasy book you get this new information and here it's like overwhelmed by it as well as the clockwork um angel like we did prequel like that was easier but it was kind of harder still and then we have this one and this one we already know pretty much what's going on the Shadowhunters we have had like seven or eight books to really understand the concept of it so I wasn't really thrust in this world when I was already in this world so I understood completely and I saw it was the best first book series I have ever read by her and I will stand by that because this book was amazing so there is a huge thing going on that novellas that Sondra Claire's written before this one it was caught tug tails the Shadowhunter Academy it's like an 11 book novella series they learned about that literally a week before I'm not that great about book news guys I'm really not and I was like do I have time to read this again I saw was 11 parts and I was like I don't think I'm trying to read this so I didn't and I kind of kicked myself in the butt for that because there is some plots in here that really connect you that plan to retails of the shadow Arkana very very soon like I planned it very soon because I do want to have all the connecting dots if you don't know that's like just got like I said 11 novella I feel like it follows a lot about Simon it's got a couple of thorn things in here and really I wouldn't say me to read it I didn't read it and I felt buying away into it but I know the big thing at the end was a big story and then Avella series I was like I didn't quite understand like I didn't get the whole I understood it but I wasn't like as shocked or you know I didn't feel like it was in his intent as it would have been if I read the series if I read the novella so I will read the host but I will say if you haven't right it's not a huge deal I think so read this book because I've been not so loved it that's I'm gonna talk about spoiler wise I don't really want to spoil it all for you this book because this book was amazing I will say it had a very good plot it had very good to it I was never bored with it when I wasn't reading it I was very curious like you know when you're not reading a book and you don't have time to read it you know doing the life or whatever and you're like man I wonder what's happening right now in that book right now I can't wait to get back to that book that's how I felt with this book I constantly wanted to go back to read it because I was so invested in the story and in the characters and just the story that Cassandra Clare writes it just makes me want to never leave the world so the flow was amazing the plot was great it left me wanting more that is a hundred percent foreshore and yeah so if you haven't read it read it if I can hear it in 505 this is my first five-star book this year and I am happy little balloons to let in midnight and let's talk about this cover like I like you're City of Bones covered are the more entrepreneurs there okay the if fragra bison series a lot better this cover though this cover is like my favorite like though this is just this is a beautiful like I love it I just want to look at all day and the epicness that it is it is epic okay he has to go he has to go but please come back so we can talk about it because I'm gonna delve we do a lot of stuff will not forget some things probably but done is human nature so I find on spoiler people and too low spoiler people let's begin so what's I'm gonna go Oliver Twist this so just before warrant so let's talk about the characters Emma and Julian pretty much those our primary tool of it's a of course there a lot of supporting care just don't get to I loved Emma I loved her just overall in this like I said her sassiness or sarcastic yes I thought she was just amazing I love the way she was written as well as Julianne I really felt for Julianne I felt so sorry for him that he had to take care of his siblings and that you know he wasn't even told his he was like the third oldest but his two older ones got sent away like I was like that it's just not there everything that has happened enjoying a man Emma's life she's not been fair and his parents got killed Julian had a kill his dad his mom died his brother was taken away his sister was taken away it's just he has so much burden I feel for Julianne so much he's such a quiet and very desperate soul so I really hope at the end of this trilogy just to see him free to see him be like I love my siblings so much and they will all of you my siblings I'll spend time with them but 100% their guardian oh he can still be among their lives I was because he's their sibling but to be you know to be actually be a brother and not a parent and I really hope you know his an MS thing let's talk about that so of course we have this whole underlying crap parabatai para bought a pair up I don't know they're linked you know obviously they were linked since they were 12 and Julian says it was selfish because he wanted an image never leave but I don't think I'm alittle but because that's her best friend and then of course you can obviously tell what this whole book that things are happening between them they are finally realized and they love each other well for Julian Julian's known for a very long time that he has loved Emma like that it's been his thing you know as soon as they talked about the room that's with the locked in studio I was like looking real good that's got 1,000 pictures them and it like paintings we all know we all know if anything else didn't know Mike how could you not know and for Emma this was much this book was in she wouldn't she really realized that she loves Joanna that just loves him but she is in love with him she is tied to him her soul is connected to his soul but the whole peer about to think you're linked of course you know when you're Parramatta feels pain you feel pain if your parent dies you like you die and all that other stuff but this was much more intense especially knowing Emma had went to the convergence and she almost drowned Julian was coughing up water and I was like wow this is a whole new level of light linked like you guys are linked for sure and then of course when Julian got stuck but perfect Diego and she had to put ruins on him and like that ruin really wouldn't have saved his life but it was just their botanist and their love and their caring about you all of that commits and that mayhem heal it was just intense the whole thing is intense and of course we have this whole thing of the clave since the piace you cannot fall in love you can be like brother-sister nuts but not be in the clave is always like the law is hard but it is the law and I'm like I need to keep this on the face like the claim is a bunch of jerks like they had been since day one everyone I say good clay from when they read it like if you're part of clay if you're nice man everyone must hate me because they do know because some balls are just and then you hear about the end about how what happens is paramount a how if you do fall in love and then the power then you like to kill your family and I'm like well that's not good at it like why don't they tell people that like I mean I feel like there should be up front with it just be like you can't love each other will tell you live you can't love each other if you do we're gonna we're just they see what a claim you guys are these are really bad like you shouldn't we do your government because this is this is not good so yeah the whole thing and and then find love I loved all our scenes together of course how when Emma was realizing she loves Julian and the dance scene and the beach scene let's talk about the beach scene like they kissed and then they did more exit whoa like this happen wait you do guys like I'm not saying I would disagree with him sounds like Wow guys like we went for know after that you know and of course the end the end in the heartbreak of the end with Emma learning the truth about the Parramatta and she you know was trying to turn away from Julia that she goes only way to get that nail literally in the coffin is to be with to be with his brother she confronts ma she's like let's pretend were together because trust me it's gonna save Julian in the end blow me a favor and he's like well why lie about it then shut the door dude why do I do that that's weird so it's making me think that it's something happen here like is she gonna be like Vaughn though and mark and then be also in love with Julian like I don't I don't get that I'm nervous as crap about that because I love mark but I feel like I was like I don't know if she should do that to your brother like I don't know then again he doesn't really know about them to tell him bro just be like we have to pretend to be together Christina let's talk about her she's the new character as well on this book and I fell in Lois search so emma is very steadfast very strong-willed she just jumps into anything and she's like that and she's sarcastic Emma Christina is the complete opposite she is very calm very reassured she they are just the perfect anchors for each other you know an awesome addition she has some secrets of her own as well as I love every despondent inaudible I feel like the more characters introduced their secrets behind them here like oh what's your secret what did you do what happened with you and with Christina you know you have that she transferred institutes and then with perfect Diego and Jane me I think I pronounced something wrong I apologized but that will hang on the purview Thiago came and let me just tell you this there is like a love hexagon up in this book like we got Emma and Julian but then Emma's gonna have more maybe we got that going on but marks also been let's kill R in the fairy and then there's also some bonds Christina and there's also some allowance Christina and then maybe Emma and that's a lot go and then Christine's off Christina's also connected to River Diego there's a lot going on a lot of different love interest my ain't it but I'm just gonna probably get confused I don't know but I love Christina Mel for addition and I hope she sticks around and we learn more about her as well as Diego Diego I'm still shaky about I'm like you kind of kind of um betrayed Christina a little bit but I think he showed himself and then Mellark of course mark is the black thorn that was unproduced to this series I didn't think it was coming back but I didn't know I don't trust fairies okay I think in this series is the one series has taught me to never trust fairies like every time I'm more insurance there talked about fairies they made deals on the quite make a deal in the room with a fairy they know they're not good and that whole cold peace and then the wild hunt that was so interesting to read about the Wild Hunt and how mark and Kira kill Rick who I'm pronouncing all these name drops got together and then how cool run kind of retreat him I was like that it's not love you do not love that dude the big thing I liked how kill Ron kind of reviewing stuff at the end with helping them out that they say and the big thing of course let's talk about that now than being the Guardian I didn't see it coming I did not I didn't really I don't try to figure things out honestly I just try to just go with the flow of books but as soon at the end when they all had figured out like two pages beforehand when they said you know that uh it was a warlock that thumb of the Shadowhunter I'm like Malcolm but then you're thinking because cuz some dope career does this thing to you where you know in the moral instrument series that Haj Starkweather was the bad guy and he was like the runner whole Institute so you're like I don't think it could be a Diana she wouldn't do that again but maybe she would and then you know you are obviously from Earth Magus and how he was a warlock and how you feel like you can trust Magnus because he's amazing say feel like all warlocks are probably the same way against what she did no no no Morlocks or not this thing this Malcolm guy is bad and you feel for Malcolm like I was like this is not a villain he was talking about rom-coms and keep being nice then he's a villain but then he's doing all this the from love and I was like oh I understand this I understand this because at the end with that would happened to em up Julianne do the same thing I have no doubt about it he would felt for Malcolm so deeply and do I think he's dead no because there has been not a body in front of us because that guy he's not done he's not dead let me reassure you I know Jem and Tessa went to go get that black book but he is gonna be gone and so is Malcolm and they're like well he's somewhere and then Annabelle of course you know that the rates is the whole Annabel Lee which I loved how the whole Edgar Allan Poe tied in with that I thought that was just really cool that tied in what's that and I loved how at the end she woke up and we don't know what she's gonna be like necromancy is not saying necromancy necromancy necro mats crazy people food is nothing experience with any of these books I'm interested if Annabelle is going to be and I'm a black one like she's gonna be like oh I'm here I got vengeance to serve let me do this or she's gonna be like hey I'm here let me just be a friend let me try to help out I've taught at Malcolm or she's gonna be someone different no recollection of who she is I'm just being deaf for so long looking to do so many ways honestly because raising the dead that's some dark joke okay so we don't know what's gonna happen with that we honestly don't am i interested yeah so I love how to know if she's gonna be a villain or she's gonna be something different or as well as Malcolm you know he can realize that if Annabelle is really not herself anymore he could be like oh crap I did something really bad you know that could happen and very well that may happen so there's just so many things and Danny you know let's talk about her diana is the tutor of the whole on the crews of the black swords and stuff and there has been so much mystery about Diana she went Thailand for her like abroad or or something and something obviously happened there but that hasn't made her like not trusted or she did something wrong you know I don't know I hope we figure out more we probably will obviously about her and her you know secret sister I see more of the siblings I love the sibling waxing they are awesome Thai and lovey and you know a little Taggy and drew I think they're just a really great cast of supporting characters and I loved them and let's talk about the end was kicked so the very beginning of the book we get into just this new guy kit and his dad is Johnny broke a broke is just the sneaky guy that does horrible things and bad things and a lot of stuff so you don't really know much about it like the first chapter you get a very glimpse into it you're like who is this dude I don't want to get into the story so body would be more in this story but we get to like the end and we finally figure out who kid is and he is the lost hair in our know his dad is lost hair and dog or kid is a lost hair and I forget which one's the lost hair and oh that's the part where I didn't really understand it that much because it was in the tail of the Shadowhunter Academy and it was a novella and I didn't read it so I didn't know what the whole big deal about it was it's like oh he's a hearing death in general there are much little big deal because we don't see them them touch and you know kit is now at the Institute and he's a Shadowhunter and he's a herring nail so I'm interested in seeing how that's gonna fail because that's cool so I can't wait to read the novella as well to see how that really affects everything because it's obviously a huge deal and obviously we have a lot of you know our amazing you know friends from the past coming to join us we see tests that we see gem we see Jace we see Claire we see Simon or we see you know madness you see like all of her friends a lot of other interweaving but they're not they're too much to take away from the story because I personally like that we have a whole new set of characters to fall in love with and much as I love the old game I wanted to see a new game to fall in love with them and you know and that's just how it is and I think she did it perfectly how you know you get glimpses of it here and there but you know obviously it's more Emma Julian story and how you know it's all about them and they're in students like I said I love this book so much I move so sad it's over and I'm so sad about how she wrecks your part but I feel confidence by the last book everything we pieced together just right because Cassandra Clare it's not a brick heart this she also knows how to rebuild it back together at the end so I fooled trust in that so I'm not before it and please only who's your favorite character from this new series I'm Anne MacGregor and through love her love Julian even though the dudes kind of like the end with him trying to pin that other guy on things and then he was just very like concise and helping his family that kind of freaks me out but I'm like Wallace family I also do the same thing to protect my family and my kids and my siblings that's just that's how it goes overall again like I said I love this 10 out of 5 stars 15 out of 5 stars loved this book please let me go

much Julia's love to take care of life what one two three four children and tabby was 22 at the time so he has pretty much had this huge burden on him plays past five years and all this craziness

guys I'm really not and I was like do I have time to read this again I saw was 11 parts and I was like I don't think I'm trying to read this so I didn't and I kind of kicked myself in the butt for that because there is some plots in here that really connect you that plan to retails of the shadow Arkana very very soon like I planned it very soon because I do want to have all the connecting dots if you don't know that's like just got like I said 11 novella I feel like it follows a lot about Simon it's got a couple of thorn things in here and really I wouldn't say me to read it I didn't read it and I felt buying away into it but I know the big thing at the end was a big story and then Avella series I was like I didn't quite understand like I didn't get the whole I understood it but I wasn't like as shocked or you know I didn't feel like it was in his intent as it would have been if I read the series if I read the novella so I will read the host but I will say if you haven't right it's not a huge deal I think so read this book because I've been not so loved it that's I'm gonna talk about spoiler wise I don't really want to spoil it all for you this book because this book was amazing I will say it had a very good plot it had very good to it I was never bored with it when I wasn't reading it I was very curious like you know when you're not reading a book and you don't have time to read it you know doing the life or whatever and you're like man I wonder what's happening right now in that book right now I can't wait to get back to that book that's how I felt with this book I constantly wanted to go back to read it because I was so invested in the story and in the characters and just the story that Cassandra Clare writes it just makes me want to never leave the world so the flow was amazing the plot was great it left me wanting more that is a hundred percent foreshore and yeah so if you haven't read it read it if I can hear it in 505 this is my first five-star book this year and I am happy little balloons to let in midnight and let's talk about this cover like I like you're City of Bones covered are the more entrepreneurs there okay the if fragra bison series a lot better this cover though this cover is like my favorite like though this is just this is a beautiful like I love it I just want to look at all day and the epicness that it is it is epic okay he has to go he has to go but please come back so we can talk about it because I'm gonna delve we do a lot of stuff will not forget some things probably but done is human nature so I find on spoiler people and too low spoiler people let's begin so what's I'm gonna go Oliver Twist this so just before warrant so let's talk about the characters Emma and Julian pretty much those our primary tool of it's a of course there a lot of supporting care just don't get to I loved Emma I loved her just overall in this like I said her sassiness or sarcastic yes I thought she was just amazing I love the way she was written as well as Julianne I really felt for Julianne I felt so sorry for him that he had to take care of his siblings and that you know he wasn't even told his he was like the third oldest but his two older ones got sent away like I was like that it's just not there everything that has happened enjoying a man Emma's life she's not been fair and his parents got killed Julian had a kill his dad his mom died his brother was taken away his sister was taken away it's just he has so much burden I feel for Julianne so much he's such a quiet and very desperate soul so I really hope at the end of this trilogy just to see him free to see him be like I love my siblings so much and they will all of you my siblings I'll spend time with them but 100% their guardian oh he can still be among their lives I was because he's their sibling but to be you know to be actually be a brother and not a parent and I really hope you know his an MS thing let's talk about that so of course we have this whole underlying crap parabatai para bought a pair up I don't know they're linked you know obviously they were linked since they were 12 and Julian says it was selfish because he wanted an image never leave but I don't think I'm alittle but because that's her best friend and then of course you can obviously tell what this whole book that things are happening between them they are finally realized and they love each other well for Julian Julian's known for a very long time that he has loved Emma like that it's been his thing you know as soon as they talked about the room that's with the locked in studio I was like looking real good that's got 1,000 pictures them and it like paintings we all know we all know if anything else didn't know Mike how could you not know and for Emma this was much this book was in she wouldn't she really realized that she loves Joanna that just loves him but she is in love with him she is tied to him her soul is connected to his soul but the whole peer about to think you're linked of course you know when you're Parramatta feels pain you feel pain if your parent dies you like you die and all that other stuff but this was much more intense especially knowing Emma had went to the convergence and she almost drowned Julian was coughing up water and I was like wow this is a whole new level of light linked like you guys are linked for sure and then of course when Julian got stuck but perfect Diego and she had to put ruins on him and like that ruin really wouldn't have saved his life but it was just their botanist and their love and their caring about you all of that commits and that mayhem heal it was just intense the whole thing is intense and of course we have this whole thing of the clave since the piace you cannot fall in love you can be like brother-sister nuts but not be in the clave is always like the law is hard but it is the law and I'm like I need to keep this on the face like the claim is a bunch of jerks like they had been since day one everyone I say good clay from when they read it like if you're part of clay if you're nice man everyone must hate me because they do know because some balls are just and then you hear about the end about how what happens is paramount a how if you do fall in love and then the power then you like to kill your family and I'm like well that's not good at it like why don't they tell people that like I mean I feel like there should be up front with it just be like you can't love each other will tell you live you can't love each other if you do we're gonna we're just they see what a claim you guys are these are really bad like you shouldn't we do your government because this is this is not good so yeah the whole thing and and then find love I loved all our scenes together of course how when Emma was realizing she loves Julian and the dance scene and the beach scene let's talk about the beach scene like they kissed and then they did more exit whoa like this happen wait you do guys like I'm not saying I would disagree with him sounds like Wow guys like we went for know after that you know and of course the end the end in the heartbreak of the end with Emma learning the truth about the Parramatta and she you know was trying to turn away from Julia that she goes only way to get that nail literally in the coffin is to be with to be with his brother she confronts ma she's like let's pretend were together because trust me it's gonna save Julian in the end blow me a favor and he's like well why lie about it then shut the door dude why do I do that that's weird so it's making me think that it's something happen here like is she gonna be like Vaughn though and mark and then be also in love with Julian like I don't I don't get that I'm nervous as crap about that because I love mark but I feel like I was like I don't know if she should do that to your brother like I don't know then again he doesn't really know about them to tell him bro just be like we have to pretend to be together Christina let's talk about her she's the new character as well on this book and I fell in Lois search so emma is very steadfast very strong-willed she just jumps into anything and she's like that and she's sarcastic Emma Christina is the complete opposite she is very calm very reassured she they are just the perfect anchors for each other you know an awesome addition she has some secrets of her own as well as I love every despondent inaudible I feel like the more characters introduced their secrets behind them here like oh what's your secret what did you do what happened with you and with Christina you know you have that she transferred institutes and then with perfect Diego and Jane me I think I pronounced something wrong I apologized but that will hang on the purview Thiago came and let me just tell you this there is like a love hexagon up in this book like we got Emma and Julian but then Emma's gonna have more maybe we got that going on but marks also been let's kill R in the fairy and then there's also some bonds Christina and there's also some allowance Christina and then maybe Emma and that's a lot go and then Christine's off Christina's also connected to River Diego there's a lot going on a lot of different love interest my ain't it but I'm just gonna probably get confused I don't know but I love Christina Mel for addition and I hope she sticks around and we learn more about her as well as Diego Diego I'm still shaky about I'm like you kind of kind of um betrayed Christina a little bit but I think he showed himself and then Mellark of course mark is the black thorn that was unproduced to this series I didn't think it was coming back but I didn't know I don't trust fairies okay I think in this series is the one series has taught me to never trust fairies like every time I'm more insurance there talked about fairies they made deals on the quite make a deal in the room with a fairy they know they're not good and that whole cold peace and then the wild hunt that was so interesting to read about the Wild Hunt and how mark and Kira kill Rick who I'm pronouncing all these name drops got together and then how cool run kind of retreat him I was like that it's not love you do not love that dude the big thing I liked how kill Ron kind of reviewing stuff at the end with helping them out that they say and the big thing of course let's talk about that now than being the Guardian I didn't see it coming I did not I didn't really I don't try to figure things out honestly I just try to just go with the flow of books but as soon at the end when they all had figured out like two pages beforehand when they said you know that uh it was a warlock that thumb of the Shadowhunter I'm like Malcolm but then you're thinking because cuz some dope career does this thing to you where you know in the moral instrument series that Haj Starkweather was the bad guy and he was like the runner whole Institute so you're like I don't think it could be a Diana she wouldn't do that again but maybe she would and then you know you are obviously from Earth Magus and how he was a warlock and how you feel like you can trust Magnus because he's amazing say feel like all warlocks are probably the same way against what she did no no no Morlocks or not this thing this Malcolm guy is bad and you feel for Malcolm like I was like this is not a villain he was talking about rom-coms and keep being nice then he's a villain but then he's doing all this the from love and I was like oh I understand this I understand this because at the end with that would happened to em up Julianne do the same thing I have no doubt about it he would felt for Malcolm so deeply and do I think he's dead no because there has been not a body in front of us because that guy he's not done he's not dead let me reassure you I know Jem and Tessa went to go get that black book but he is gonna be gone and so is Malcolm and they're like well he's somewhere and then Annabelle of course you know that the rates is the whole Annabel Lee which I loved how the whole Edgar Allan Poe tied in with that I thought that was just really cool that tied in what's that and I loved how at the end she woke up and we don't know what she's gonna be like necromancy is not saying necromancy necromancy necro mats crazy people food is nothing experience with any of these books I'm interested if Annabelle is going to be and I'm a black one like she's gonna be like oh I'm here I got vengeance to serve let me do this or she's gonna be like hey I'm here let me just be a friend let me try to help out I've taught at Malcolm or she's gonna be someone different no recollection of who she is I'm just being deaf for so long looking to do so many ways honestly because raising the dead that's some dark joke okay so we don't know what's gonna happen with that we honestly don't am i interested yeah so I love how to know if she's gonna be a villain or she's gonna be something different or as well as Malcolm you know he can realize that if Annabelle is really not herself anymore he could be like oh crap I did something really bad you know that could happen and very well that may happen so there's just so many things and Danny you know let's talk about her diana is the tutor of the whole on the crews of the black swords and stuff and there has been so much mystery about Diana she went Thailand for her like abroad or or something and something obviously happened there but that hasn't made her like not trusted or she did something wrong you know I don't know I hope we figure out more we probably will obviously about her and her you know secret sister I see more of the siblings I love the sibling waxing they are awesome Thai and lovey and you know a little Taggy and drew I think they're just a really great cast of supporting characters and I loved them and let's talk about the end was kicked so the very beginning of the book we get into just this new guy kit and his dad is Johnny broke a broke is just the sneaky guy that does horrible things and bad things and a lot of stuff so you don't really know much about it like the first chapter you get a very glimpse into it you're like who is this dude I don't want to get into the story so body would be more in this story but we get to like the end and we finally figure out who kid is and he is the lost hair in our know his dad is lost hair and dog or kid is a lost hair and I forget which one's the lost hair and oh that's the part where I didn't really understand it that much because it was in the tail of the Shadowhunter Academy and it was a novella and I didn't read it so I didn't know what the whole big deal about it was it's like oh he's a hearing death in general there are much little big deal because we don't see them them touch and you know kit is now at the Institute and he's a Shadowhunter and he's a herring nail so I'm interested in seeing how that's gonna fail because that's cool so I can't wait to read the novella as well to see how that really affects everything because it's obviously a huge deal and obviously we have a lot of you know our amazing you know friends from the past coming to join us we see tests that we see gem we see Jace we see Claire we see Simon or we see you know madness you see like all of her friends a lot of other interweaving but they're not they're too much to take away from the story because I personally like that we have a whole new set of characters to fall in love with and much as I love the old game I wanted to see a new game to fall in love with them and you know and that's just how it is and I think she did it perfectly how you know you get glimpses of it here and there but you know obviously it's more Emma Julian story and how you know it's all about them and they're in students like I said I love this book so much I move so sad it's over and I'm so sad about how she wrecks your part but I feel confidence by the last book everything we pieced together just right because Cassandra Clare it's not a brick heart this she also knows how to rebuild it back together at the end so I fooled trust in that so I'm not before it and please only who's your favorite character from this new series I'm Anne MacGregor and through love her love Julian even though the dudes kind of like the end with him trying to pin that other guy on things and then he was just very like concise and helping his family that kind of freaks me out but I'm like Wallace family I also do the same thing to protect my family and my kids and my siblings that's just that's how it goes overall again like I said I love this 10 out of 5 stars 15 out of 5 stars loved this book please let me go thought about it let's have a chat let's talk he's going to do a thumbs up and subscribe to see more bookish tenderly and I will see you later bye\n"
