there is something so “heathcliff it’s me cathy i’ve come home and i’m so cold” about each and every one of these characters. shadowhunters are angel/demon books sure fine but they’re also about human connection and this incessant desire to be loved and cared for. cordelia you a superstar

I can't believe I never posted my review, I devoured through this and it made me so excited to read the story! Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

After many years of waiting, few words could describe the excitement I felt as I finally held this book in my hands. The cover and its colour scheme are gorgeous, hinting at the content it contained and promising great things.

Well, lovely readers, I’m here today to tell you that this book did not disappoint.

It’s impossible to resist the charm of the London Institue shadowhunters, especially when they have familiar last names like Herondale and Carstairs. The new generation of shadowhunters was a pleasure to meet and I was happy to see that the bond between the Herondales and Carstairs remained as strong as ever.

The relationship between James and Cordelia intrigued me the most. As always, Cassandra Clare succeeds in writing an angst-filled romance that has me tearing through the novel to find out if they ever end up together. And, as always, the ending is never the one we expect. If I pick up the next book, it will mostly be to find out if James and Cordelia have a happy ending or not.

Reading about married Tessa and Will was like coming home after years away and finding your family eagerly awaiting your arrival. There is something special about picking up a book and reacquainting yourself with your old favorite characters. Even the familiar surnames were enough to get me excited.

The story throughout the book was slightly disappointing but rapidly picked up near the end. It left me with more questions asked than answered and made me realize that this first book was probably just a set-up for the next book

It was so good it's hard to even find something to say about it. I've read TMI and TID by Cassandra Clare and after TID, I was unsure any of her other series could come close but my socks were knocked off with Chain of Gold. The characters, action, the threat/evil, the love, the story as a whole!!! AHHH I couldn't read it fast enough. The most recent series I've read is TID so it was so cool to see....SPOILER (Tessa and Will's children)

A great book as usual from Ms. Clare! The writing, the story telling, the wits and banter of this book were awesome! Entertaining as always!

This is just an excerpt, but it is amazing! Clare’s characters are always amazing, and this is no different. I can’t wait to read the full story!

This book was phenomenal. I'm absolutely in love with this new cast of characters and can't wait to read more about them. It's also really amazing seeing how these early events tie back to the story that happens later on. Cassandra Clare had done it again and I'm here for it.

This seems like such an interesting book! I LOVED the other series by Cassandra Clare and I feel like this one definitely would not disappoint me.

Another book that does not let down or disappoint! I have been a fan of Cassandra Clare for years and have LOVED all of her shadowhunter books. This one has been no different. I bought this one immediately after reading this excerpt and am so glad that I did. More more more please!!

This was my first Cassandra Clare read and while I hadn't read the previous instalments in this world, I still enjoyed this. The cover is incredible!

This was my first taste of a Cassandra Clare book and it had me intrigued. Will certainly be purchasing the book and reading others she has written.

DNF this book. I requested this book before knowing about some of the hateful comments this author has posted on Twitter. I am unwilling to review a book when I have witnessed an author verbally attack, tag, and call out a negative review by a reader. I appreciate the offer by the publisher, however I cannot support an author that creates an unsafe virtual space for her readers.

I'm not the biggest fan of Cassie Clare but, I was super excited to get started in this series. I'm happy to see where the story is going and can't wait for the next book to come out.

I requested this excerpt knowing it would be amazing! The full book ended up being one of my favourite books of 2020. Cassandra Clare never disappoints me. This excerpt perfectly sets the tone for the book, it left me wanting to read the book more than I wanted before, if that’s possible! Can’t wait for the next books!
