This book is very dull. Change my mind. Goodreads.com: Chain of Gold, by Cassandra Clare (The Last Hours #1) To DNF, or not to DNF, that is the question facing another 18 hours of audibook as I struggle to get into Cassie Clare's newest Shawdowhunters trilogy. I love The Mortal Instruments. I was surprised at … Continue reading DNF or Keep Reading? Chain of Gold
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! Goodreads.com: Lord of Shadows, by Cassandra Clare (The Dark Artifices #2) Cassandra Clare rarely errs in full-length story format - and I'll forgive The Bane Chronicles, and Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy because she didn't write them … Continue reading Review: Lord of Shadows

That first story, when the reader (and often the main character) learns everything has all the elements of surprise and wonder, the journey of discovery that makes you fall in love with a place. Go back again, for a new story, and … Continue reading Review: Lady Midnight
0.5 out of 5 stars Nope. This one goes in the Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy pile - not enough to make even short stories interesting. Goodreads: The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare and others I made it through three of the 10 stories on the audiobook: "What Really Happened in Peru," "The Runaway Queen" and … Continue reading Review: The Bane Chronicles
0.5 out of 5 stars Ugh, whyyyyyy? I really enjoyed The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices series, so I was certainly interested in Cassandra Clare's co-writing more tales from that world. 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
