“Lady Midnight” is the new book in a new series within the “Shadowhunter
Chronicles” by Cassandra Clare. The
author of “The mortal instruments” and “The infernal devices” decided to make
all her fans happy continuing writing about our fellow Shadowhunters.
Emma Castairs lives in the LA institute
along the Blackthorn kids. Her parents and the Blackthorn’s parents were killed
during the war five years ago; however she is sure her parents were not another
casualty. Therefore she has been looking for clues on the shadow-market every
other day.
One day she discovers a body that was
marked in the same way her parents were and the investigation starts again. As
the body found was fairy, the Unseelie court offers the Blackthorns an offer
they cannot deny, they will gave Mark back if they find out who the killer is
and they give him to them.
Emma and Julian will have to fight as
parabatai risking everything to have Mark back and Emma’s parents’ murder
solve.
“Lady Midnight” was a fantastic book. I
have to say it was a little hard to get into the story at first because you
know the background and the world but I had to find that connection with the
new characters. However, once I got into
the characters and the plot I could not do anything else than reading.
The setting in this book is quite different;
the story develops in LA, which makes an interesting change of scenario. The
world building is not as extended in this book since we already know a lot of
the Shadowhunter world and how it works, however we can see it develops a
little and how or fellows Clary, Jace, Alec, Magnus, etc. are helping in that
development. Especially in the end you can see how things have change
politically and while the laws are still laws, but the way around them is not
that harsh.
Apart from that the characters are
really interesting and the story around them really compelling. Julian is one
of those people who can take care of everything, but he still has breakdowns
during the book. Emma is brave but still fears things. And the rest of the
characters are rather interesting I cannot wait to read more about them.
To sum up, “Lady Midnight” was a really
good book that set us up for new adventures and romances in the Shadowhunter
chronicles.
