Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
3.0

3.5

That was... I'm not sure not to recover from the ending.

There were a lot of perspectives in this book and I found a lot of them tedious, especially those for the characters who weren't very present in the last book. It also felt stretched, especially in the middle, with a lot of weird conflicts that took away from the action and made the story feel like it was wondering just to be longer. Or to possibly set something up for the finale? I'm not sure though as the ending did a very good job at that. There were quite a few plot threads in the middle that I think could have been cut to give the book a better flow and shorten the distance between the action scenes and really turn this book into an epic, fast-paced ride to the finale.

Other than that, I enjoyed it.
