Depending on who it is, you will probably smile a lot and possibly throw the book across the room. The romantic subplots are a key feature of any Cassandra Clare book, and readers, your favorite pairing will make an appearance. Everyone’s favorite recurring character Magnus Bane as well as practically the entire (surviving) cast of The Infernal Devices do make appearances, although they are kept from too much involvement in the plot by being away from London for most of the book. Summarizing the plot is difficult without spoiling Chain of Gold, but suffice to say it involves a serial killer, demon hunting, a fake marriage, necromancy, and very colorful waistcoats. At 656 pages, it’s a long read, but it’s definitely worth it. You will cry during Clockwork Princess (especially the epilogue), but you will love the series and have the necessary information to understand what’s going on in The Last Hours.Īnd yes, you should dive into this read.
If you haven’t read The Infernal Devices, go read that and come back. Chronically, it comes fifth: you need only read Clockwork Angel, Clockwork Prince, and Clockwork Princess (which make up The Infernal Devices series) and Chain of Gold (the first in the current series, The Last Hours) before you dive into this read.
Chain of Iron is the sixteenth novel in the saga, which also includes three short story collections, to be published. Although there have been trends in the YA world that have later been mocked (Twilight) or regretted (as someone living in a pandemic, I’m still waiting for my love triangle, dystopian YA authors!), the Shadowhunters chronicles seem unlikely to be one of them. According to the back of any recently published Cassandra Clare book, “fifty million readers can’t be wrong” about this author, dubbed “the new queen of fantasy” by Wall Street Journal.
