– The Last Hours: Chain of Iron: From the international bestselling author who defined romantasy: the No. 1 New York Times bestselling Shadowhunter ... demon-hunting, betrayal and forbidden love

Chain of Iron is an absolute triumph in The Last Hours series. Cassandra Clare weaves an intricate web of romance, mystery, and danger that had me hooked from page one. The characters are beautifully developed, with their relationships and personal struggles taking centre stage in ways that feel raw and deeply relatable. The historical setting is brought to life with stunning detail, and the plot is packed with twists that kept me guessing until the very end. The balance between heart-pounding action and emotional depth is masterful, and the stakes feel higher than ever. Fans of Clare’s work will be thrilled with how this story unfolds, and if you love Shadowhunters, this book is an absolute must-read. It’s gripping, gorgeous, and leaves you desperate for the next instalment!

A good read please note the extra story at the end of the book. This is the continuing story of James, the Merry Thieves and Cordelia, trying to find out who is killing Shadowhunters. Lucie is working with Grace to try and bring Jesse Blackthorn back to life. Matthew still drinking and hiding his secret from the world,will nobody help him? As to how these are resolved you'll have to read the book.

For anyone who fell in love with Will Herondale, Tessa Grey and Jem Carstairs, Chain of Iron continues their story, and their children's story through a vibrant tapestry of Edwardian London. Beautifully written, chain of Iron continues a few months from where chain of gold left off. Young James Herondale is abou t to enter. Marriage of convenience with cordilia Carstairs, as a way to repair her reputation when she lied for him. He still believes he loves Grace Blackthorn, but the spell that binds them is growing weaker as his true feelings for his new wife grow stronger. A breathtaking read, with wonderful twists and turns - much like a dark, Edwardian London alley.

Another worth reading shadowhunter's tale for sure, however not as passionate and heart aching; and action packed as the other main stories.

Perfect

This was EPIC! Honestly even better than the first. Though that ending very near killed me. I may despise you just as much as I adore you right now Cassandra, because honestly....HOW COULD YOU?! Now I have to wait an entire year in torment for the next instalment. Siiigh. Grace still suffers, but I still hate her. Her mother may be a monster, but somewhere along the line you must say enough is enough and certainly not when your world has already gone to ash around you. James and Cordelia are my new favourite couple! I hope they eventually get a happy ending. Hard to know. You're the only one partial to cliffhangers so devastating! Can't wait for book 3!! Happy writing xx

I have been eagerly awaiting the follow up to last years Chain of Gold, and couldn’t wait to read this. I finished it in 2 days and it didn’t disappoint! I absolutely love all the books in the Shadowhunter series, but my favourite was always The Infernal Devices and Will and Tessa my favourite characters, so I was so happy when this series came out. The characters are, as always, so well written and you really are invested in them and their lives. I don’t want to spoil anything so won’t say much about the story. If you are a fan of the first book, or indeed the shadowhunter series, this will not disappoint. The only downside is I now have to wait another year for the final instalment!

I absolutely loved the second installment of the last hours series. I finished the book so quickly I was left wanting more. As with all of Cassandra Clare's books I was thoroughly immersed in all the characters. This book made me fall in love with the world of the Shadowhunters all over again. The depth and diversity of the characters is extremely refreshing. Cassandra is a genius. I cannot wait for the next installment of this series.

Do note that this comes with the sleeve, it's not the library binding version where the cover art is printed on the cover. I LOVE CASSIE CLARE

Super wydanie, szybka dostawa 🙂

Estava super ansiosa para comprar o livro e consegui a promoção. Chegou bem embalado e o vendedor foi um querido ⭐️ A edição é lindo , essa edição e sem a jacket , mas por mim não tem problema 🥰

Chain of Iron picks up a few weeks after the ending of Chain of Gold. Now this being like the second in book in the current series but the like sixteenth book overall, excluding novella bind ups, it is going to incredibly painful to try and not spoil anything. Now I will start off by saying this, Cassandra Clare has never had like stand out plots in her books. There have been some, but she is more characters first before plot kind of story writer. I would say that is entirely true when it come to Chain of Iron. This was a purely character driven story, with plot completely secondary. Again as I said before Chain of Iron picks up with the big event that Chain of Gold set up. Some of you who have read know what said event is, some of you don't. We spend a good majority of the beginning of this book on this event and never really anything plot wise happening, which is okay but I do wish Clare didn't spend as much time as she did on the event. Once we finally got away from said event, the plot got started and the story really took off. I would say I am a reader who needs both plot and character focus in my stories. I can tolerate a story with a great plot and lackluster characters or even vice versa. But for me to really make the story shine I need both. With Chain of Iron it was definitely more character focused like I said, but the plot no matter how small it really was, compelled me. Sure at times it can be predictable, but if the author can still keep my interest, if they can keep me wanting to turn the pages for more, for me that is a win. That is exactly what Clare did with Chain of Iron. I adore these characters, I adore this world, I am so invested with the intricacies of this game board Clare has been weaving since City of Bones. I have to say though, I think this story would have benefited from Clare's initial release plan. Which if I remember correctly she wanted to release it like she did with The Mortal instruments final three books and The Infernal Devices. There are some major plot points and history markers that would have hit differently had she done it that way, in my opinion. I know we would have waited longer for books, but I remember reading The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices that way and truly appreciating how the stories weaved together harmoniously. Are the Shadowhunter books perfect absolutely not, no book is and I will die on that hill defending that argument. The Shadowhunter books however bring me so much joy and escapism and that is what truly makes this series shine for me. I am so looking forward to Chain of Thorns the final book in The Last Hours series. I will also continue to look forward to every Shadowhunter book that is yet to come!

I've loved this book. This new installment of The Last Hours trilogy has many things: love, friendship, treasons, heartbreaks, a lot of action and mystery and demons,... If you love The Shadowhunters Chronicles and if you haved loved The Infernal Devices you will absolutely love this trilogy about all their childs (of the main characters of TID). Please, read this book, read this trilogy, read this entire book series.
