We got really good glimpses of characters from The Infernal Devices but the new younger cast definitely captured my attention and my heart equally. And I’m a lover of historical fiction so the Victorian London setting of The Infernal Devices and now the Edwardian London setting of The Last Hours was always going to appeal to me more.Īnd I’m so happy to say that Chain of Gold definitely did not disappoint.
I was a bit disappointed a few years back when The Dark Artifices came out, not because I didn’t like it but because it wasn’t The Last Hours. There’s just something about the London Institute and the cast of characters that I enjoy much more than the New York and Los Angeles Institutes. In fact, it absolutely still is one of my favourite series of all time. The Infernal Devices was the first Shadowhunters trilogy that I read and it remains my favourite to date. This review may contain spoilers for other books in the Shadowhunter Chronicles, especially The Infernal Devices.Ĭhain of Gold is the book I have been waiting years for. When disaster strikes the Shadowhunters, James, Cordelia and their friends are plunged into a wild adventure which will reveal dark and incredible powers, and the true cruel price of being a hero…and falling in love. Cordelia Carstairs is desperate to become a hero, save her family from ruin, and keep her secret love for James hidden. James Herondale longs for a great love, and thinks he has found it in the beautiful, mysterious Grace Blackthorn. But everything changes when the Blackthorn and Carstairs families come to London…and so does a remorseless and inescapable plague. James and Lucie Herondale, children of the famous Will and Tessa, have grown up in an idyll with their loving friends and family, listening to stories of good defeating evil and love conquering all. For years there has been peace in the Shadowhunter world.
