"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!
