Beschreibung

James and Cordelia must save London—and their marriage—in this “fiendishly romantic” (Kirkus Reviews) conclusion to the Last Hours series from the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cassandra Clare. Chain of Thorns is a Shadowhunters novel.

Cordelia Carstairs has lost everything that matters to her. In only a few short weeks, she has seen her father murdered, her plans to become parabatai with her best friend, Lucie, destroyed, and her marriage to James Herondale crumble before her eyes. Even worse, she is now bound to an ancient demon, Lilith, stripping her of her power as a Shadowhunter.

After fleeing to Paris with Matthew Fairchild, Cordelia hopes to forget her sorrows in the city’s glittering nightlife. But reality intrudes when shocking news comes from home: Tatiana Blackthorn has escaped the Adamant Citadel, and London is under new threat by the Prince of Hell, Belial.

Cordelia returns to a London riven by chaos and dissent. The long-kept secret that Belial is James and Lucie’s grandfather has been revealed by an unexpected enemy, and the Herondales find themselves under suspicion of dealings with demons. Cordelia longs to protect James but is torn between a love for James she has long believed hopeless, and the possibility of a new life with Matthew. Nor can her friends help—ripped apart by their own secrets, they seem destined to face what is coming alone.

For time is short, and Belial’s plan is about to crash into the Shadowhunters of London like a deadly wave, one that will separate Cordelia, Lucie, and the Merry Thieves from help of any kind. Left alone in a shadowy London, they must face Belial’s deadly army. If Cordelia and her friends are going to save their city—and their families—they will have to muster their courage, swallow their pride, and trust one another again. For if they fail, they may lose everything—even their souls.

Ein würdiger Abschluss für eine weitere grandiose Shadowhunter-Reihe 😍

4.5

I really enjoyed the conclusion to this series. Sadly the first half of the book was a bit tough, it dragged along with a lot of unnesessary love triangle and miscommunication (because lets be honest, we all new how it was going to end). In the second half the story picked up pace significantly and I couldn't put the book aside anymore.

50% Love Triangle/ 50% messy saving the world (or just London, for what we know) and Matthew from his drinking problem. Boy, I was so excited for this book, let me tell you. I've put aside a brilliant book, to jump right in, when this came out. And now I'm mad. It's not bad bad, but seemed like a copy and paste of her other Shadowhunter Novels at times (like, why the forced Love Triangle again???). Matthew deserved better, his drinking problem was solved solid I think, but everything else was just solved a little easy. She could've made him a Silent Brother and the repetition would've been complete lol. Christophers death was unnecessary. It felt like she killed him off because she needed to kill someone and just threw the dices to decide. It wasn't well written, it was lazy and not really smart. I normally cry my eyes out with her death scenes, this just made me angry. I loved Christopher and his relationship with Grace. His death didn't contribute any dramatics to the story and didn't bring the plot forward and it was brushed over so fast. She wrote half the book in detail about the damn love triangle, but Christophers death wasn't worth much thought I guess. As for the rest... yeah they won, happy clappy ending, what a surprise. Her explanation for the incorrect family tree is laughable, she really couldn't have thought about a more clever solution? And where do we get the correct one now? Also: what happens to Bridget? Do we get to know that? I loved Alastair and Thomas, let them live in peace please. Also Ari and Anna- chefs kiss. Perfect, would love to see more of them. Lucie and Jesse have my heart. They deserved more attention. But she wrote their relationship really well. Grace is not the bitch we thought her to be, but deeply indoctrinated with her mothers crazy views on the world which she still can escape and be a helpful source in defeating Belial. Give that girl a rest. Cordelia and James are awesome together, she still can write great couples with good chemistry. So, yeah... I still enjoyed a great deal of this book, it's a solid story, but being used to her usual greatness, this book left me a little disappointed and sad. I would love to read her original ending, that was supposed a lot more tragic, but maybe that would've been it. Still I can appreciate her writing something as fluffy as this for her fans during covid, for them to have some light during a difficult time. I'm still excited for her future books though.

passt sich gut in die Reihe ein, war ein passender Abschlussband. hatte viel Spaß dabei meine Gedanken aufzuschreiben. finde allerdings, dass es die schwächste Reihe ist, einfach weil der Plot irgendwie all over the place war.
