Cassandra Clare did it again. with just the excerpt it's clearly that this book is going to be as epic as the other one. Every page filled my heart with emotion and excitement, I can't wait to read the entire story of the next generation of shadowhunters.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This review is from an excert copy of the book not the full book.

I have only read the excert of this book and am already hooked and looking forward to reading more. I love Cassandra Clare's start of this book and really must get a full copy of this book to continue reading - IMMEDIATELY!!!!

I could not put this excerpt down! I am thankful that my preorder came in the mail today!!!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this preview!

I can't wait to read the full story!
These chapters were a very good introduction to (some of) the characters we will follow - and fall in love with - in this trilogy. Brilliant!

Gahhh!! I need more. I seriously can't wait for the entire book to release now. Chain of Gold is going to be one of my new favorite reads of 2020 just based on the excerpt alone!

I did not realize this was just an excerpt . I am a HUGE FAN of this author. I did not read the excerpt and instead i just went and bought the book yesterday at the local B&N. I will be leaving a review on my blog and my Good Reads profile when I am done. Thank you anyway NetGalley.

WOW!!! I am smitten with little Lucie running through the woods. Curious as to who the man was she encountered helping to find her way back home.. That is what caught my attention. Then, to present day, her brother is cornered by a demon and left to his own devises, impatiently waiting for his cohorts to arrive.. They have become lax, the shadowhunters. So impressed, I bought the book. I cannot wait to devour its' contents.
Will be donated to my local library when I am finished.



Thanks to NetGalley, the publishing company, and Cassandra Clare for the excerpt in return for an honest review.

STUNING. I can't believe that in just 35 pages I was able to recognize that Cassandra Clare's writing have become so much better than what it was.
Also, I am so into those characters already. A real group of friends being so lovely and natural. Can't wait to read the rest.

Love, love, love! The excerpt got me excited for the rest of the book! I love all the characters and want to read more!

Like coming home. Every time.

I simply don't have the words to express what it's like to be back at the London Institute.
The familiar faces still make me squeal with delight but I am thrilled to see more of the next generation.

Clare has built such a wonderfully complex world with even more complex characters and families and it's always a joy to step back into the Shadowhunter gear and see ever more of this world.

I was so excited when I found out what and who this book was about! The Infernal Devices books are my favorite Cassandra Clare books! This excerpt has me so excited for the whole book, I can't wait! I am sure it is gonna be very intriguing, surprising, and definitely funny! How can it not be when there's gonna be Will?

So so excited for this new addition to the whole Mortal Instruments series/subseries! I have been a huge fan of Cassandra Clare since I was in high school, so being able to continue with a series that I have loved for many years brings such joy and nostalgia! Will definitely be buying the book when it comes out.

I'm so ready to dive back into the world of Shadowhunters, and I already know James Herondale is gonna break my heart into tiny pieces. I love the more historical side of the series, and this is already so lovely!

Oh my lord! What a great prologue and first chapter! I absolutely adore the Shadowhunter world. Cassandra Clare has done an amazing job. I'm so excited to jump back into the London Institute. I already adore James (I mean how could you not when his dad is Will Herondale)!

This was such a great teaser! Can't wait to get my hands on the book as soon as it is released!

I'M DYINNGGGG ! I can't wait to read the book now omg.
You know how much I feel in love with Cassandra Clare books but that made me so happy to be back in this world. For this sampler, that seems pretty good and I'm looking forward to read the rest now

So firstly, THIS IS JUST A REVIEW OF THE ONE CHAPTER EXCERPT OF The Last Hours: Chain of Gold AND NOT OF THE WHOLE BOOK 😋 but it's certainly whet my appetite for the book's release on 3 March!🤩 Thank you to #NetGalley and the publisher for the early snippet.

Just one chapter in, and I am already lost back in the world of the Shadowhunters, but this time we're following the adventures of another generation. Introducing Will and Tessa's children Lucie and James Herondale, plus Matthew Fairchild and Cordelia Carstairs, and the rest of their Shadowhunter crew. Then we have the elusive Grace Blackthorn and her family moving back to London. And who was the mysterious boy Lucie met in the woods 6 years ago....? Plus of course we have the usual healthy dose of demons and warlocks, and a battle to the death between good and evil (no doubt). 😯

I love that Cassandra Clare's books are always built on a foundation of family and friendship and loyalty, and it looks like The Last Hours series is following on with that tradition. Whilst it's wonderful knowing the 'family tree' of all the characters, having read every other Cassandra Clare book, I also get the feeling that you could just pick up this series and enjoy it as your first introduction to the Shadowhunter world.

It's going to be a 5 star read for sure. ✨✨✨✨✨

Can't wait until Tuesday!

#ChainofGoldExcerpt #NetGalley

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the option to review this chapter sampler. I cannot wait to read this in the next few days. I love Cassie Clare books and have been looking forward to this new series for a few years now.

The excerpt sounded very interesting and well written. I cannot wait for the opportunity to read the rest of the novel.

Omgomgomg!!!! So excited to get a chance to preread this excerpt. I started reading Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter books (starting with The Infernal Devices) nearly 10 years ago and have been absolutely in love with the world she weaved. This book has been highly anticipated and for good reason!

Reading this was like sinking into my favorite lounge chair that I haven't sat in in a very long while. So familiar and welcoming. It just feels so right to be brought back into the fold. All the familiar names, places, terms, phrases came rushing back and it was so welcomed.

Love the characters already in just these few chapters alone and can already sense my favorites. I can't wait to read what adventures and trials they go through and where the already apparent love lines end up.

Missed this world and Cassandra Clare's writing. So excited to be back in it again with such promising characters and an enthralling back story to push us forward! Cannot wait to continue reading!

I want to thank NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Children’s Publishing for providing me with an excerpt of Chain of Gold by Cassandra Clare

The world of Shadowhunters is my favourite and every time I go back to it; it feels like home. Set in Edwardian London, Cassandra Clare brings the next generation of Shadowhunters after Will, Jem and Tessa. Already I am liking the new characters, especially Lucie, one of Will and Tessa’s children.
I cannot wait until March 3rd to read the whole story!!!
