3.5 out of 5 stars Like the whole Dark Artifices series, this final installment isn't perfect, but it's well worth it. Goodreads.com: Queen of Air and Darkness, by Cassandra Clare (The Dark Artifices #3) I'm always nervous when authors re-visit their previously created worlds. When the wonder of first discovery is gone, and the characters … Continue reading Review: Queen of Air and Darkness
3.5 out of 5 stars I'm relieved to say I liked this one a lot more than Lady Midnight!

Unfortunately, these fall far - very far, short of the series that inspired them. There are a 10 stories in the Tales from the Shadowhunter … Continue reading Review: Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy
