Dark secrets and forbidden love threaten the very survival of the Shadowhunters in Cassandra Clares Queen of Air and Darkness, the final novel in the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling The Dark Artifices trilogy. Queen of Air and Darkness is a Shadowhunters novel. What if damnation is the price of true love? Innocent blood has been spilled on the steps of the Council Hall, the sacred stronghold of the Shadowhunters. In the wake of the tragic death of Livia Blackthorn, the Clave teeters on the brink of civil war. One fragment of the Blackthorn family flees to Los Angeles, seeking to discover the source of the disease that is destroying the race of warlocks. Meanwhile, Julian and Emma take desperate measures to put their forbidden love aside and undertake a perilous mission to Faerie to retrieve the Black Volume of the Dead. What they find in the Courts is a secret that may tear the Shadow World asunder and open a dark path into a future they could never have imagined. Caught in a race against time, Emma and Julian must save the world of Shadowhunters before the deadly power of the parabatai curse destroys them and everyone they love.

Prerelease Tagline of 'Everything Changes' had me worried. Did something I never do. Skipped ahead & read the last Chapter.

***Spoilers - Had to know if all my favorite characters we're safe. Whole Last Chapter was full of goodness for the Shadowhunter gang. And much much #Malec love. Alec Lightwood knows how to plan a surprise.***

Sooo enjoyed reread knowing this ending was coming. ❤💛💚💙💜

5/5 for the last in this trilogy! Wow what an ending to this trilogy! I enjoyed it! I love all the details of each storyline. I feel like there could be another story though. Emma is such an amazing character. She is strong and bold! I cannot wait to read more from this author.

Hello everyone!
Regarding my currently reading book/series, I must say I just found out I haven't read #theinfernaldevices series (3 books) which are before #thedarkartifices -the one I'm reading now- 🤭 I'm so excited because I love them. I love Magnus and Alec stories and it seems like this other series it's all about them so Yay!
🌼📖🌼
Happy Sunday reading everyone. Take care of your self, it's the most valuable we have.

How is this Thursday painting so far?

-Remember it's with your brushes and imagination the art of your life is done!💙

As I read this Cassandra Clare's book I realized how time has passed by, and how youth make you feel like you have the power and nothing bad can happen to you or the ones you care.

Happy Reading🌼📖🌼

(Obviously I had a lot of time in bed yesterday LOL)

Wednesday is here, my body apparently doesn't care, it still wants to keep resting, hasn't been good days for me, of course I'm trying my best, sometimes even doing more than the body feels like. I believe I have the power! So, trying to stay positive I will try to read as much as I can YAY! Let's read!!!! 🌼📖🌼
BTW, this beautiful painting by Laura Lacambra, captures exactly how my mind and body feels.

It was so great to be back in the Shadowhunter world. When I first picked up this behemoth I thought it would take me forever to get through but I should have known better. Once I was back in I couldn‘t put the book down, I had to know what was going to happened next. There were times I had to remind myself that these characters were teenagers and kids who live a very adult life but doesn‘t mean they are adults.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ellies_Books06 I love this!!! 😍😍😍 3y

I bought this book used from Powell‘s I think last year but hadn‘t realized the spine was damaged until I took the cover off to read it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Thanks for any tips!

Yet again another fantastic read. The only two things i will say is that after the big battle i felt the ending was a little too drawn out. Also am i to assume Jace and Clary will be getting another series following thay cliffhanger? ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Just sitting in my room...winding yarn and listening to a book. It‘s truly one of the best ways to end my day. #cassandraclare #books #reader #reading

LiteraryinLawrence I‘m slightly jealous of the gorgeous yarn! I used to knit a lot and found it so relaxing, but with 3 cats I just have set that hobby to the side for the last many years. Maybe I‘ll give it a try again... 4y

BOOKS I READ IN MARCH

I enjoyed all the books I read in March, there were not that would really dissapoint me or where I would regret purchasing them.
My favourite has to be Theft of Swords, it was such a fun and despite its 650 pages quick read. I loved the characters and the warm narrator's tone with which he descibed the world.

I had a feeling the book could have been shorter, the first half dragged a bit too much for me. The second half of the book made up for that with a lot of scenic fights that always have a very cinematic feel to them. On the other hand I feel like all the Shadowhunter series have a very similar storyline in terms of the plot and love interests. I still enjoyed it but I expected a but more from the Dark Artifices.

I love the characters. I love all the love interests. I love the fighting. My favorite character in this world (Magnus Bane 🤩😍) was not in the action much due to the warlocks becoming sick from the blight. I need another book that is only focused on Magnus, Alex, and their family. Please and thank you Ms. Clare.

Happy new year, litsy land! Here's my year in reading as reviewed by Goodreads. But I read a lot of comic books too so it's prob a bit more than that. It was a fine year for catching up on #backlistbooks and discovering new writers. Here's to a grand reading year for 2020 🤭

I really enjoyed this whole series. I'm glad I waited until the third book was out before reading any of them because I just devoured them all. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

KathyWheeler I hadn‘t thought of reading or listening to these until I saw that James Marsters narrates them. He‘s fantastic with the Dresden Files. 4y
brilliantglow @KathyWheeler his narration is fantastic! He only does the second and third books in the series. Lady Midnight is narrated by a woman but I'm not sure of her name off the top of my head 4y

Not too bad this year. My goal was 155 and I wasn't sure if I was going to make that because I started University full time this year but I managed to exceed my goal by over 100 books. That would be thanks to audiobooks (which I haven't used since Robert Munsch books when I was a kid) and the 80ish graphic novels/comic issues I read this year.

Another new book started during my overnight “excursion” 📚🎶 So, although the rest of the night was effectively a waste of time...I finally started this lol 😭😴. Now to mess up the rest of my day, I‘m off to bed & I hope this doesn‘t completely flip my schedule upside down.

This is probably my least favorite of Clare's shadowhunter novels thus far. It was an 900 page book, and was 300 pages too long. Despite that, I love this world and it is fun to see favorite characters. This book also set things up for another shadowhunter series which is always exciting!

After working a full shift and then going to a golf tournament, I really wanted a #bookandbath to unwind. But my book is too big for bath time reading, so I am settling for #bookandcorndogandfacemask.

I‘ll keep reading Clare‘s books because they‘re generally enjoyable with decent characters, but I do think this trilogy was her weakest. And this final book was SO LONG. A couple hundred pages easily could have been edited out. I get that there were whole plot threads in service to a storyline for a future book, but I‘m going to entirely forget these before the next one comes out. 😒

mdemanatee This whole trilogy was under-edited. I am fairly sure the publisher is not editing her the way they should be anymore in a way that is doing her a disservice. 5y

So, this is exciting & fun for the most part, some of the scenes really did grip me, either the thrill of battle or shock at someone‘s actions or death. And the writing here is def stronger than other CC series. But. TOO DAMN LONG. I don‘t mind a long book but this did not need to be nearly 900 pages. A lot could‘ve been cut w/o hurting the plot. And a lot felt repetitious. But she‘s gonna do what she wants b/c she knows she‘s got us, LOL. 3/5 ⭐️

I finally finished this trilogy! I don‘t know if it‘s because I‘m a little older now or because The Mortal Instruments is really better, but I preferred TMI to this series. However, I still loved the characters, the witty banter, and the way that everything always comes together beautifully in the end.

Yay! Finished this 800+ pages whithout breaking my wrist! The last book of this series. Love Cassandra Clare's #Shadowhunters World building and the characters she created. #TDA has most diverse characters than others, but sad to say, I'm a little disappointed with the overall plot & this one is probably the weakest final book compare to her other series. Nonetheless, can't wait to dive into her next one 🙌🏼 4/5 read.
