By Cassandra Clare
4/5
If you are a
fan of The Mortal Instruments series, you must read this book which follows
Simon as he ascends to become a Shadowhunter. Our favourite characters also
make an appearance but it was nice to see Simon’s character develop without the
help of the others as he made some new friends and learned more about his past.
Simon was
one of my favourite characters in the TMI series so I was really looking
forward to being reacquainted with him in this spin-off and he did not
disappoint. He was the same charming, witty, awkward Simon that we all know and
love but he grew as a character which was lovely to see. I also fell in
love with the character of George Lovelace and the witty banter the two shared
made me smile. Catarina Loss was another favourite of mine and her relationship with Simon was so special.
My favourite
stories in this book were definitely the final two; Born to Endless Nights made
me smile so much as we were reunited with our favourite couple, Malec, and
Angels Twice Descending made me smile and cry in equal measures.
I will most
definitely read this book again and I believe it to be a must read for all
Cassandra Clare fans. However, I am now impatiently waiting for Lord of
Shadows, the second book in The Dark Artifices trilogy, as I have missed this beautiful world that Cassie created.
