Light it up

My laptop is getting fixed soon so I’ll try and give some reviews on the books I’ve read! I’ve kept up to date on my goodreads if anyone wants to know how many books I’ve read:

These are the books I’ve read and I plan to do reviews for all the books and the series soon!

Okay so onto a new series! I have heard a lot of good things about this series, plus (as seen on the sticker on the front) it’s being turned into a Netflix show!

I’m almost finished to be honest, it’s a really easy read and the story moves along fairly quickly. I’m really enjoying not completely in love with the main character for once. I like that she’s not completely perfect and that she has some flaws. It makes her a little bit more human and relatable.

SPOILER ALERT✨

So, I read this series in honestly 2 days! I couldn’t put the books down they are so amazing!

I was a bit sceptical at first, because all of the books I have read recently have been amazing and I was worried that one series was going to ruin it for me, but I was not disappointed! The enemies to lovers slow burn of this series was sooooo good.

I LOVE CARDAN! He is such a softie! I know he was a dick most of the time but I just can’t help but fall in love with him. He’s a mean, dark haired, good looking character with a tragic backstory- THAT’S MY TYPE DUDE! I managed to find his letters that he wrote to Jude on Tumblr and honestly my heart😭 It was so adorable🥺

Jude is such a legend, the way she played everyone to get what she wanted is seriously a goal in my life. She was so strong willed and so smart, she got what she wanted and she didn’t care how she got there. AND THEN she fell in love with Cardan (obviously) and it just got even better.

My one issue with these books is that they were too short! I wanted more action, I wanted (needed) more Juradan, I wanted more of a story after the coronation! But, other than that, the story is so well written and the fact that, although small(ish) books, Holly Black was able to create a whole land and a load of complex characters that I fell in love with instantly. I’m excited for the book coming out in November (though I have spotted a Holly Black tweet where she mentions ‘more books’ so maybe my thirst will finally be quenched).

Okay so it’s been a few hours since I finished CC and I have digested the last hundred pages. Holy Shit so much happened in that last part of the book! I absolutely loved the ending of it; though poor Lele! :( I am happy the ending of the books wasn’t a HUGE cliffhanger, because we have to wait well over a year for the next one and I don’t know if my heart could take it.

I have a feeling that Sarah will completely ruin this for me, but there are SO MANY similarities between Hunt and Bryce, Rowan and Aelin, and Rhysand and Feyre! I really believe that they are mates (my theory is that’s what she told him before he almost died, (though correct me if I’m completely wrong!) so I am going to hope and pray they stay together. I just really hope this isn’t another Tamlin, that one hurt!

Bryce is honestly so dorky and cool all at the same time and I hope she is forever happy. Lol but seriously, Sarah, don’t fuck this up for me, okay? 

Favourite characters: Matthew, James, Lucie, Cordelia, Christopher. I mean, I could pretty much put everyone in this category, but these are the ones I’m most excited to read about in the next book Chain of Iron. There are so many unanswered questions and I have so many theories that I’m going insane thinking about them all! And, to be honest, any Herondale boy is going to be my favourite in a shadowhunters book. They’re always my favourite. I also love Anna, Thomas and Alastair.... so I’ve pretty much mentioned all of the main characters.... oh well! And of course, the return (I guess?) of the magnificent Magnus Bane! I’ll always love that man.

Character i hated the most: Grace Blackthorn. I’m CONVINCED she is completely evil, mainly from the fact she claims she had never loved anyone in her life. So James is just a joke to you, huh?

Character I’m unsure of: Jesse Blackthorn. Now don’t hate me! I don’t hate him, I’m just curious of him. He’s very mysterious and I haven’t quite figured him out yet so I’m keeping him in the unsure category.

I have been reading so many theories on tumblr since reading it and it’s making my head hurt! I hate reading a series when there’s only one or two books, because I need all the answers now!!! I also need everyone to be safe and happy by the end of the third book, okay Cassandra? I’m very excited about all the new characters and friendships in this series, and I’ve already pre-ordered the next book!

Currently reading: Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare!

I was going to put this off until I had the full series but everyone keeps talking about it and I just had to read it! I’m about halfway through the book already and I love how many different Shadowhunter families there are! Though I’m constantly looking at the family trees because I’m so confused! Speaking of the family trees, I’ve seen a few people have ended up with partners that are definitely not where they are currently heading! Though I’m a sucker for pretty much any romance troupe (even if I claim enemies to lovers is the only one I care about).

Okay, so I just finished the book series and WOW. I actually have such love in my heart after finishing that book after the constant heart break reading Kingdom of Ash. I love so many new characters now I don’t know if I will ever love a human as much as these characters😂

Okay so I read Queen of Shadows in a day and a half.... whoops? I’m now going onto Tower Of Dawn because I’ve read that I’m going to have to delve straight into Kingdom of Ash after I’ve read Empire of Storms so I shall have to wait a whole book before I get Aelin and Rowan again. I think I’ll survive, but only if Nesryn and Chaol finally come together in Tower of Dawn!!!

After Queen of Shadow’s, I have mixed opinions on Chaol but I feel (for me anyway) he redeemed himself towards then end of that book, so I think I can stand a whole book with him ;) Dorian, though, my poor child! I feel so bad for him after that book and I only hope I get more of him in Tower of Dawn!
