"But our love was stronger by far than the love, Of those who were older than we- Of many far wiser than we- And neither the Angels in the Heavens above Nor the demons down under the sea Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.."
It's been five years ears since the Dark War that took the lives of thousands of Shadowhunters. Order has been restored and Shadowhunters are forbidden from helping any of the Fair Folk. After Mark was taken by the Fair Folk and his parents were killed, he was left to watch over his brothers and sister and the weight of the whole New York Institute was left on his shoulders. Emma was left trying to find out who killed her parents because she refuses to believe that it was Sebastian due to the markings on their bodies. She begins to give up hope. At least until Mark appear at their door with other Fair Folk.
The Fae believe they can help track who killed Emma's parents since they have found even more bodies with the strange markings. If Emma and Julian help them, they have a chance to have Mark back and find the people who killed Emma's parents.
As Emma searches for her parent's killer, she's left wondering what Julian has been keeping from her. As her parabatai, they have a special bond. A parabatai is your best friend and your partner in battle, but they can never fall in love. But why not? Can she stand to know the truth? Even more importantly, can she stand to actually find the person who killed her parents?
I fell in love with this book so I gave it 5 stars! I LOVE Cassandra Clare's writing more than anything and I think this new trilogy is going to be amazing, just like the Infernal Devices and Mortal Instruments series that she also wrote. I loved the characters, like I usually do. Each character is unique. My favorite part of these series is Clare has made each family different. For example, my favorite characters throughout each series are any of the Herondales. They're brave and sarcastic and hilarious. Each character has their own personality that you really will not forget. I'm someone who likes romance but to a certain extent. I hate when that's ALL the book is about when it's really supposed to be about something bigger than that. A BIG thing I love about these characters is that their independent and they're mature which is the type of characters you really need in a book like this. Also, the plot to this book is phenomenal. I don't know how Cassandra Clare can keep making more and more series off these characters, but she does an amazing job at it.
I would highly recommend reading The Mortal Instruments series before this book because you learn about every character in this book in the 6th book of the series. A lot of reading... But I promise Cassandra Clare's writing won't let you down. Also, there is prequel series called the Infernal Devices series that is about these characters ancestors. Not necessary to have to read before this book, but it gives you background information to better understand two characters Jem and Tessa that show up in this book.
I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy and adventure! This is an amazing start to what will be an undoubtedly amazing trilogy!
Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare (#1 in the Dark Artifices) 5 stars
