5/5
Cassandra Clare is back on top form with Lady Midnight after
the disappointing last 3 Mortal Instruments and Clockwork Princess, as I loved
this book and it is the best one she has written so far. This book is full of
action and mystery with fantastic characters and a heartbreaking romance. I was
not expecting the villain to be who they were but thinking back it was obvious
and I love when authors are able to do this.
Julian has been unable to have a childhood as he has had to
give up everything to be a parent to his siblings, this means that he has grown
up being cunning and ruthless when it comes to protecting his family but also
that he is responsible, mature, and caring. Emma did not interest me as much as
Julian as she felt similar to other characters in the Shadowhunter world, as
she is daring, reckless, determined and tough. The rest of the Blackthorn
family are interesting and engaging characters who are unique and have their
own voices and personalities.
I am a little worried that there may be a love triangle with
Julian, Emma and Mark in the next book Lord of Shadows and I really hope this
doesn’t happen as I am getting bored of them in Clare’s work and I really like
the forbidden love angle of Julian and Emma’s romance. I would recommend Lady
Midnight to fans of Cassandra Clare’s other books.
