Happiness followed by sadness. Being back in this world; with familiar and new characters, with Downworlders and Nephilim, with war and love; I was happy. Then I finished it and now I am sad because I have to wait another 12+ months to get my hands and heart onto the next installment. I, as always, have only good tings to say about Cassandra Clare and her master piece series! We were first introduced to Emma, Julian and the rest of the Blackthorn crew in the last book of The Mortal Instrument series. Although the characters were only twelve then, I knew what was to come in this series from there, and I was excited. She set it all up; friendship turned to forbidden love, yes please! So here we are; two real and five fantasy years later. Jules and Emma are all grown up and both figuratively and literally fighting demons. Five years after the Cold War and the shadow worlds have changed; the Fae have been stripped of land and rights and all part Fae stripped from their families. The world is in turmoil, and the Shadowhunters have been forbidden to give assistance to any of the Fae Folk. But when someone they love has the chance to rejoin them, the Blackthorn's make a choice that could see them stripped of their marks. I smile at my cleverness (those who have already read the book will get it, and smile evilly with me). I was surprised to see Clare get into the romance so quick when she made us wait so long in the other series. But hey, I'm not complaining by any means! I love how each new series explores a new city, and I'm here hoping that the next will be set Down Under. *cries with hope*
