As things often go in young adult action/fantasy/dramas/whatever you want to call it, this is not as simple as it seen, thus starting off a convoluted adventure across Europe. This is set obviously very early on in their relationship after City of Glass, but before the following book in the series (the wiki indicate they've been together for about two months at that point, but I'm not sure that feels necessarily accurate) The book is about a sweet vacation for lovers gone wrong - in the first few chapters, we meet Tessa (best known from Clare's 'The Infernal Devices' series, and find out that Magnus jokingly started a cult decades ago.
Clare has a way with words, but especially a way with dialogue, which is unique to herself.īefore I get into a rant about character analysis (a good rant!), I'll speak about the book itself first. With this bitterness, I think I tainted Clare's writing in my mind, because reading this series was almost like coming home. It's been seven years since I was a tired 15 year old swearing off Cassandra Clare books forever, tired of the seemingly same plots popping up in every one of her series. Who knew 397 pages of sweet, dramatic gay love would inspire me to write a 600+ word review? Buckle in for a ride folks, because this gay disaster has a LOT of feelings about this book. TLDR: Cassandra Clare finally learns to write well written gay characters, develops a sweet and wholesome plotline of a holiday gone wrong, and somewhat redeems herself of the terrible characterisation she gave Alec in a series that concluded five years prior to this book being published. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo, Holly Black and Sara J. As their quest for answers becomes increasingly dire, Magnus and Alec will have to trust each other more than ever-even if it means revealing the secrets they’ve both been keeping. As if it wasn’t bad enough that their romantic getaway has been sidetracked, demons are now dogging their every step, and it is becoming harder to tell friend from foe.
Now Magnus and Alec must race across Europe to track down the Crimson Hand and its elusive new leader before the cult can cause any more damage. A cult that was apparently founded by Magnus himself. But as soon as the pair settles in Paris, an old friend arrives with news about a demon-worshipping cult called the Crimson Hand that is bent on causing chaos around the world.
