Chain of Iron, 2
Chain of Iron, 2 | Cassandra Clare
The Shadowhunters must catch a killer in Edwardian London in this dangerous and romantic sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Chain of Gold, from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cassandra Clare. Chain of Iron is a Shadowhunters novel. Cordelia Carstairs seems to have everything she ever wanted. She's engaged to marry James Herondale, the boy she has loved since childhood. She has a new life in London with her best friend Lucie Herondale and James's charming companions, the Merry Thieves. She is about to be reunited with her beloved father. And she bears the sword Cortana, a legendary hero's blade. But the truth is far grimmer. James and Cordelia's marriage is a lie, arranged to save Cordelia's reputation. James is in love with the mysterious Grace Blackthorn whose brother, Jesse, died years ago in a terrible accident. Cortana burns Cordelia's hand when she touches it, while her father has grown bitter and angry. And a serial murderer is targeting the Shadowhunters of London, killing under cover of darkness, then vanishing without a trace. Together with the Merry Thieves, Cordelia, James, and Lucie must follow the trail of the knife-wielding killer through the city's most dangerous streets. All the while, each is keeping a shocking secret: Lucie, that she plans to raise Jesse from the dead; Cordelia, that she has sworn a dangerous oath of loyalty to a mysterious power; and James, that he is being drawn further each night into the dark web of his grandfather, the arch-demon Belial. And that he himself may be the killer they seek.

This author's books always suck me in. This is the second in a trilogy that is a subset of earlier books. Once you're hooked, you're hooked.

And now I have to wait until the 20th March for my hold to come in at the library for the final book! Arghhhh
I adore the cameos from Magnus Bane, and how much Matthew loves Magnus Bane!
I am very curious as to how Clare is going to tie up all the loose ends. 🤞🤞🤞

Bookworm54 I really need to catch up on the shadow Hunter books. I just picked up my copy of the new one this week! 1y
Mrs_B @Bookworm54 happy reading! I‘m not jealous at all… 1y

The second in this trilogy, continues with Cordelia and James and all their family and friends, fighting against evil. This time a serial killer is targeting Shadowhunters. I very much enjoyed it.

I always love the Shadowhunter books. This one took a little too long to get starters. I took a several months long break in between Parts 1 and 2 and then devoured Part 2 in two days. Naturally I can‘t wait for the next one now.

I had to take a 6 month break halfway through this one. It‘s the first Clare I haven‘t devoured. Giving it a second chance on audio, narrated by the incomparable Finty Williams.

“ “For love is strong as death,” said Matthew, placing the second stele in James‘s hand. His tone was uncharacteristically somber. “And jealousy cruel as the grave.” ”

Lucie is obsessed with Jesse.
Gracie is obsessed with Jesse.
James has no idea who he is obsessed with.
Cordelia is obsessed on being a hero.
Matthew is obsessed with his drinking.
Tatiana is obsessed with bringing down the Nephilims.
Belial is obsessed with James...
This book is more about obsession and nothing else.
I love Shadowhunters novels but maybe its time to give full-stop to these and move to something else.

My first finished book since April, woohoo! Even if the book was a hot mess😂 I don‘t know, I just didn‘t vibe with this one. There were some very good scenes but the overall plot just didn‘t do it for me. All in all I was disappointed in this. Hopefully the last one will be better! #shadowhunterchronicles

Even better than the first one! It‘s so moody and teen-angst-y, but I enjoyed spending time with the Merry Thieves and getting to see Daisy come into her element. The story is fast-paced and exciting. I just wish Matthew could get some more time.

Yes I am still reading books for 16 year olds, but they are still amazing and this one has delivered on everything Cassandra Clare is known for. It is full of action, suspense and heartbreak and I am already looking forward to the next one! The ending has broken me and I know this book hangover is going to last a few days at least! I also know I will probably have to wait a year for the next one and I don‘t know how I will cope until then!

I spent a great amount of time yelling at characters. 'WTF were you thinking?' 'Tell the other person what you feel.' And 'You're an idiot!' It's YA so teenagers. 🤦🏻‍♀️

But I'm attached to this world and the characters. Entertains me and keeps me coming back for more. I just always keep in mind that there's always a Cliffhanger unless it's final book in a Trilogy.

Listened to audio because print copy for #forevershelf was late. 📚 #bookmail

I was not a huge fan of Chain of Gold, but oh my gosh I loved this book so much. I ship Cordelia and James so hard. I hate Grace. I love all the friendships. This book was just so good.

I‘m 50% in to Chain of Iron. The Fort quarter was slow and established where the characters are emotionally after a 4 month time jump. The pace is starting to pick up and I‘m excited to see where it‘s goes.

Happy Friday, everyone! Three day weekend filled with reading and snacks here we come! 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉 I feel like Roxas is already preemptively judging me for how much I'll be reading this weekend! 😂💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #roxas #chaplin

Leftcoastzen Adorable! I am reading today but so far no cat friends are hanging with me.🙁 3y
GingerAntics My cats used to be open to bribes. Give them treats and they might pur at you and fall asleep. Maybe the judgement is really “where‘s mine?” 3y
