Review: Lord of Shadows

Lord of Shadows Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

WHY DID THIS HAPPEN
AGH
I had to rewind the ending a few times to make sure I was hearing right and I am not happy about this. It felt a little out-of-nowhere but better than over-foreshadowed or meaningless.

Overall: I enjoyed this book, but it was getting near SJM-levels with the numbers of POV characters and pairings and trying to shoehorn in ALL THE DIVERSITY. At the end of the day I do enjoy my angsty fantasy romance (or I wouldn't have gotten this far), but this book was pushing it a little.

Good job actually ending the book this time though! It felt like book 1 had 3-5 endings, seriously.


P.S. I was sorry Morena Baccarin didn't come back, but James Marsters is a pretty good narrator! Glad to see he's back for book 3.
