What he did wasn't out of cruelty but out of jealousy that came from love. But Kieran, despite being a full blood feary (and a prince, no less), really-truly loves Mark. I can understand why Mark cannot forgive him - he hurt his family, after all. Yes, what he did, telling on Mark to the wild hunt and bringing the whipping punishment (which was such an emotional scene) on Julian and Emma was horrible. Surprisingly, I found myself I found myself liking Kieran. That was so unexpected I couldn't do anything but whisper-yell 'OMG!' repeatedly for a few minutes. My first BTA (aka by the angel) moment was when Cristina saw Mark and Kieran outside (right after they came back from the whole 'Julian almost dying' ordeal) - kissing! basically making out. And from what i gathered, the dark artifices trilogy and the last hours trilogy are going to intertwine. It's just the first book in a much more complex story. If you've read both the Infernal devices and the mortal instruments, you know what I'm talking about. you never know where the story is going until everything clicks together. All of her characters are so unique and different. I wanted desperately to absolutely love it but for the time being I'm satisfied with just loving it.ĭon't let any of it discourage you from reading it! Cassandra is a master of weaving a story. Plus, 4 stars are one hell of a high score in my book.

I can be disappointed but never not like it.

And there are no Herondales as main characters this time around so there is much less humor and awesomeness than we're used to as well.īut I still loved it. Not boring (of course not!) but much more slow-paced than I'm used from Cassandra. My only problem with the book is that it was too slow paced most of the times. Maybe not as worth it as I wanted but still worth it. And it dawned on me: do I have to wait a year for another Cassandra book?Īfter two years of waiting for Lady Midnight?īut I don't regret reading it right when it came out.
