I Need the rest of this book right now. I've loved the shadow hunter series since I first read it! I'm thrilled to have another book in this world to read. I highly advise anyone who loves being a part of the shadow hunter world to pick this up as soon as you get a chance when it comes out!

Ahhhh.. new Shadowhunters book!!

A new generation...the start of a new series....new demons to defeat...what is not to love! This one follows the stories of the children of the characters of the Infernal Devices. And all the names are there - Will and Tess, James Herondale, Cordelia Carstairs, Matthew Fairchild.... I am so excited to see what this series will bring, and after reading this short excerpt (the you Simon and Schuster Children and Netgalley( I am even more looking forward to it.

Chain of Gold is released on March 3rd . And can we just talk about that cover - stunning!! Cannot wait to continue the story soon....

Chain of Gold is the first book in The Last Hours series by Cassandra Clare. A captivating and intriguing young adult novel that continues the story into the Shadowhunter world. This well-written and mysterious first chapter will pull you into the fascinating world of the unknown. I can't wait to read the rest of the book and look forward to more from this series and author!

I am eternally a Cassandra Clare fan!

Cassandra Clare has done it again.
This book is fantastic! If you're new to the Shadowhunter world, this is a good starting point; and if you're a battle-hardened Shadowhunter fan, this is another great series to dive into.
Meeting the children of the characters from the Infernal Devices series was such a fun ride.
They were complex, intriguing, and fun. I love intricacies of all the relationships, the familial relationships...so much history and foreshadowing. The story was well paced and Clare gave out lots of little nuggets to have me ready for the next book. Chain of Gold is an excellent start to this new series! Is it too early to ask for the next book?

So, so, so excited for this book. I've read this preview so many times but am already in love with James, Cordelia and Lucie.

I am so excited for Cassie's new book and this excerpt really just sealed the deal for me on how excited I really am. I loved the Infernal Devices and getting to revisit some of the characters from that story as well be introduced to their kids and other characters within the Shadowhunters world is going to be so exciting. This excerpt really did get me super excited for the release in less than three weeks!

This was such a great teaser!! Can’t wait to get to know these characters more and immerse myself once more in the Shadowhunter world

Cassandra Clare does not dissapoint! I can't wait to read the rest of the book, this was such a teaser! I can't wait to get to know each of the characters more!

This is a great teaser and excerpt for this book. I already got engrossed in it and want to know and read the rest of this book. It promises to be just as amazing as all the other Shadowhunter series and I love what I've read about the familiar Shadowhunter names and families especially about Will and Tessa's children and the other Shadowhunter families' children. I'm excited and hopeful to read more about this generation of Shadowhunters and their stories.
If you've read any of the Shadowhunter books then you know the engrossing and intriguing world that's there and how great each of the stories has been and this one promises to be just as amazing.

Unable to download to review into my kindle paper white. Gave it star rating so send in note ms Clare is an awesome author so I will not give it a low rating

It was just a 35 page excerpt but I enjoyed reading it and would love to read more. The characters are already easy to love and I’d love to know their story.

Thanks for the opportunity to read and review this excerpt of The Chains Of Gold by Cassandra Clare.

Loved This Excerpt, looking forward to reading this book.

As a Cassandra Clare Fan I'm soo excited for this series! This excerpt grabs your attention and holds onto it! Soo excited about this series and if you read this excerpt I guarantee you will want to start the series!!! Definitely looking forward to it!;

While I'm not done with the first books in this series ,I will definitely say that series keeps getting better and so does the characters . Can't wait to read more of this series and see what happens next .

Fans of Cassandra Clare would love this...especially given that the story revolves around the family tree of Will and Jem- so that's pretty much something.
I however found this excerpt a bit too short to tell whether this would be a great read or not.
Thanks Netgalley.

I was given the opportunity to read an excerpt of this book. I have not read any of Cassandra Clare's work before and was highly curious given how popular her books are. The book started very strong for me with the young girl getting lost in the woods. I am not a big fan of fantasy books, yet I found this to be intriguing and compelling. I have a hard time rating this as I have only read an excerpt and not the entire book.

I believe fans of Cassandra Clare and the fantasy genre will love this book. The excerpt was just enough to introduce the characters and the plot. Clare transported me to Edwardian London and created a vivid landscape for her book.

Thank you to Simon Schuster Children's Publishing and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

I couldn´t be more excited for this release, and the sneak peek had me even more so. I already love these characters so much - we've gotten to meet them in some short stories already, of course - and I can't wait to find out what happens to them in this series.

With the excerpt given, the book seems to be off on a great start. The main characters introduced in a nice way and a way of the Shadow World. Can't wait for my full physical copy.

'Chain of Gold,' the first novel in the brand new upcoming series 'The Last Hours' by Cassandra Clare is set to release on March 3rd.. less than a three weeks away! Having never read any of Clare's previous series which have been on my to-be-read lists for years, I jumped at the chance to read an excerpt of the next foray into the Shadowhunters universe provided by NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Children's Publishing.
​
Though I was concerned I might not know important facts from the author's earlier releases, I was pleased with the way she gently explained anything specific to her world. The details brief enough, so as to come across like a reminder, more than a list of things I might be quizzed on later.

The story seems to center around James Herondale, a Shadowhunter of unusual heritage, that's beginning to struggle with an old problem which could potentially endanger him and his team.. all the while trying to hide his connection to a young woman soon to arrive in London, where they're all living.

When he, his sister, and his mother.. greet a family of new arrivals, long time friends of the Herondales, there's a bit of a misunderstanding which I can't wait to watch unfold. Cordelia Carstairs, her pompous brother Alastair, and their mother are in town seeking allies.. as their father finds himself in jeopardy.

I was also thoroughly intrigued by the glimpse of a young Lucie Herondale, James' little sister, lost in a forest near her family home, in what I assume was some kind of flashback. I found myself desperate to know who her would-be savior was and exactly why he was there.. because it was no happenstance.. and he certainly drew my attention with his playfully dangerous energy.

Unfortunately, the excerpt is incredibly brief.. just a few pages here and there.. but it's more than enough for me to realize I'm going to have to get the book. In fact, Cassandra's note at the beginning of the book implies a fascinating overlay between the historic battle of World War I and whatever is coming for both the Herondales and the Carstairs as their families reunite.

I have never visited Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunter world, and I think I have been missing out. This starts like it could easily be read as a standalone. There are many teen characters to get to know and root for- James, Lucie, Cordelia, Matthew, Thomas, and Christopher to name a few. And I suspect the original Shadowhunter books included their parents. I just had a beef glimpse into a detailed world with demons, vampires, warlocks werewolves, and Shadowhunters. I can't wait to get to know it better!
