Cristina; Diana and Malcolm。 Diana has a lot of secrets， which I’m sure we’ll discover over time， but she’s the character we end up knowing the least about。 Beyond being their tutor， not wanting to take over the Institute and supposedly taking her travel year in Thailand， I can’t tell you anything about her。 It was nice to see the Blackthorn children grow and develop from how we knew them in the Mortal Instruments to this series。 Their familial relationship and interactions were authentic and heartwarming。 You fall in love with them， just like you do with Cassie’s other characters and understand Julian’s plight。 Cristina is a Shadowhunter from the Mexico City Institute who decided to spend her travel year in Los Angeles。 It was nice to get to know her because we don’t always get to experience or hear from Shadowhunters from other Institutes。 I really enjoyed her addition to the Blackthorn family （plus one） and the dimension she added。 Plus， her backstory created a connection to the Scholomance and the Centurions which are going to add even more world building to the Shadow World we know – and I can’t wait to see more of it。 Malcolm is the High Warlock of Los Angeles and although his personality is very different， you immediately like him。 He’s more playful and childlike at times than Magnus but seems to really care for the family。 After falling in love with Magnus in the Mortal Instruments， and Catarina Loss to a lesser degree in Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy， I wanted Malcolm to be the next warlock character I loved。There is so much betrayal in this book that I could never anticipate what was going to happen next。 It doesn’t just come from those you would consider “bad guys” but Shadowhunters， crooks and those with broken hearts alike。 Cassandra Clare is the Queen of plot twists， fantastic character development and astounding， emotional rollercoasters in her books – and this was no exception。Lady Midnight was a fantastic read that made me fall in love with the Shadowhunter World all over again or more than I was before？ It’s unclear。 Either way， I adore this book and I actually think that I enjoyed it more the second time through。 I would also highly recommend a re-read prior to Lord of Shadows because the novel is so packed full of incredible character development， world building and plot that you will appreciate its sequel more if the story is still fresh in your mind。 。。。more

Wow。 That last line of the last paragraph was TOO MUCH！ The first 100 pages were not good at all but oh boy did this book pick up。 By far the most original Cassandra Clare characters to date （thank goodness we didn’t get another Jace Herdonale repeat）。 Loved this book， love the conflict， love the romance， can’t wait to see where this trilogy goes！

Creo que si la sinopsis no fuera tanto spoiler， no fuera tan predecible este villano y varios de los acontecimientos。 A pesar de eso， la tención entre Julián y Emma， así como todos los secretos que se tratan de encubrir salvan mucho。 Sin duda Mark se ha vuelto mi personaje favorito de esta nueva entrega。

I usually don't enjoy Cassandra Clare's writing but honestly this wasn't that bad。the main love story was kind off annoying and boring but the plot was good and interesting。 I usually don't enjoy Cassandra Clare's writing but honestly this wasn't that bad。the main love story was kind off annoying and boring but the plot was good and interesting。 。。。more

“He can touch your soul。 And there is a difference between having your heart break and having your soul shattered。”So many thoughts。 The first is， I think I’m ready for my Cassandra Clare marathon to be over now。 I’m almost a year in and I’m getting pretty tired of the same stories over and over。 As I write this though， I know that I’ll miss these characters once this is over。 Going into this book， I knew very little of the characters besides their back stories in City of Heavenly Fire。 Based of “He can touch your soul。 And there is a difference between having your heart break and having your soul shattered。”So many thoughts。 The first is， I think I’m ready for my Cassandra Clare marathon to be over now。 I’m almost a year in and I’m getting pretty tired of the same stories over and over。 As I write this though， I know that I’ll miss these characters once this is over。 Going into this book， I knew very little of the characters besides their back stories in City of Heavenly Fire。 Based off of what I had already previously read， I guessed right off the night that Julian was in love with Emma， that was not a huge shocker to me。 I think this also comes from the fact that all of the main love interests in each series have some sort of block on their relationship that prevents them from being together。 Clary and Jace thought the were siblings， Will thought he was cursed by a demon， and now this forbidden love story。 It just doesn’t feel that new to me， and I feel like it jumped in so deep so quickly that I wasn’t really given that slow burn that I had hoped for。 I will say though that Julian by FAR is my favorite love interest。 Don’t get me wrong， I love the Herondales， but if I ever met them in real life I know I would be super annoyed by their arrogance。 Plus， the fact that Julian looks after kids？ That right there is the way to a woman’s heart。Without spoiling it: did not expect the villain to be who it was。 Points for that。I’ll give this book a solid 4/5。 Not my favorite， but definitely better then others。 。。。more
