The Last Hours: Chain of Iron

Product Information

In chain of gold I had a little problem with connecting too Cordelia , James and Lucie and only felt a big connection too Matthew and Anna but in this one that totally changed. She’s engaged to James Herondale, but it is a false marriage brought about to save her reputation after she sacrificed her social standing to save him from unjust imprisonment. james hurt cordelia so much, and him being under grace’s influence is no excuse - for once, i just wanted him to fucking think before opening his mouth and having secret meetings with grace without telling cordelia. Her mother may be a monster, but somewhere along the line you must say enough is enough and certainly not when your world has already gone to ash around you.

T ogether with the Merry Thieves, Cordelia, James and Lucie must follow the trail of the knife-wielding killer through the city's most dangerous streets. I know he was not the best person and he kind of deserved that death, truthfully I didn't even bat an eye when he got murdered. She's kind, selfless, brave but she still has flaws and I am so excited to see where her arc goes in Chain of Thorns. A killer starts murdering shadowhunters and all sorts of Princes of Hell shenanigans occur, can they stop the killer in time? Chain of Iron, the second installment in The Last Hours series, takes everything that Chain of Gold did well and adds to it.HOWEVER with the knowledge that I'm getting more Will (even in snippets), Cordelia and Matthew I am sold. She was under a lot of pressure, she wanted to become an ideal daughter/wife, but at the end she saw that everyone disappointed her, so she decides to run away from all that, that was very understandable.

Overall the plot is just good and enjoyed me and it was a great balance in here between charracter/dynamic focused and actual plot which lacked a bit in chain of gold for me. My love and high connectivity level with her pushed me to give this book four stars ( it could be five starred reading if I don’t hate Grace so much and my desire to skip her narration parts of the book. It was obvious that he made an effort and I loved seeing him healing after all the events that took place in Chain of Iron.I love their tension , the way they see all the little details of each other and well the freaking ending. he made such stupid decisions sometimes, like wearing the bracelet grace gave him to his wedding with cordelia, saying “thank god” when grace told him she’d broken off the engagement in the end - i mean, for fuck’s sake, you couldn’t have picked a better phrase?

I really liked him I CoG and wanted to know more about him, but I'm not sure how much I actually like him. For now, I just want to say that the cliffhanger didn't seem as bad to me as much as it was hyped to be. First of all, it was unnecessarily long—and when I say it was too long I don’t mean that it was maybe fifty pages too long, but hundreds of pages too long. and the last scene, when ariadne told anna she couldn’t do this anymore and anna acted all cold but she was secretly breaking inside - 💔 i just hope they both have their hea in book 3 cause they truly deserve it. She’s quietly brave, determined, and thoughtful—and actually a strong female character without shoving it in our faces.I had so many theories about this book from the snippets and everything Cassie has told us and I'm embarrased by how many of them proved to be so wrong. I personally don’t ship Fairstairs because I like them better as friends at this point and I ship Jordelia too hard to give it up, but I also have a theory about this, which, again, will be included in the spoiler section. I loved seeing Lucie so passionate about something, and the scenes they had together, including the dance, were very cute. They were eevrything and I loved the way Jordelia were interacting in those moments and I want more. Together with the Merry Thieves, Cordelia, James and Lucie must follow the trail of the knife-wielding killer through the city’s most dangerous streets.
