OVERVIEW: I'm going to try and keep this short, because I think that if you read it without knowing everything, it makes the book better. So, Lady Midnight is about Emma Carstairs and the Blackthorn family five years after the Dark War from TMI. I would suggest reading TMI before reading Lady Midnight, but I don't think it would be hard to figure out what's going on if you don't. But, Lady Midnight did feel like a continuation.
MY THOUGHTS: I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK. Cassandra Clare has grown so much in her writing since City of Bones came out, and you can really tell in reading Lady Midnight. The plot was so complex. I was so glad that some of the characters from the other Shadowhunter books were mentioned in LM. I feel like that's all I can say without spoiling the book.
SPOILERS: So, I thought that Malcolm was being really odd about the investigation, BUT I did not see him as being the Guardian!! I honestly thought the Guardian was Diana, and I'm still confused as to why she's been going throughout the entire book. At first, I thought the relationship with Julian and Emma was kind of immature, and only because they lived together. But, as the book went on, I felt really bad that they can't be together. I still don't understand why it's such a big deal, I feel like the Clave should want powerful Shadowhunters. But, if it drives them to ruins, that makes sense. I went back and forth throughout the whole book thinking that Mark would stay in the Institute or go back with the Wild Hunt. I thought that Mark would fall in love with Christina, and she would be the reason he stayed. But then Diego ruined that for me! I could go on and on about how much I loved this book, and how many plot twists I experienced, but I already feel like I'm rambling. So, I'm going to leave with WHAT DOES MARK MEAN WHEN HE SAYS "Why pretend?"?!?!?!?
I give this book a 98%!
