Chain of Gold is the newest instalment in The Shadowhunter Chronicles, and we follow mainly Lucie & James Herondale. As well as Cordelia Carstairs who just arrives in London to try to fix their family’s reputation after her father is arrested. Suddenly, new demon attack starts and the young shadowhunters who has otherwise grown up in relatively safeness need to find their bravery.
I love all the characters in this book so much! We have already met them in the other short stories before, but being with them in a whole book had my heart soaring. Cassandra Clare manages to make a new and original shadowhunter book, even though she has written many books in the same universe, with twists and turns that we still don’t see coming. I think this is fantastic and amazing skill and the books just keeps getting better and better. The diversity in this was done well, and the different representations we go made my heart so happy. I wish we had time to delve into more of the plot and the even more character moments, but this is just the first book in the trilogy so more is to come! I’m so thankful I got an arc of this and ended up giving the book 4.5/5 stars. I need the sequel yesterday.

Wicked As You Wish is Rin Chupeco’s newest series. We are in our world, but every single myth, legend and fairytale you can think of is put into it. The magical kingdom Avalon was put under ice a decade ago, but the crown prince Alex escaped. He has for the last year been in hiding with our main character, Tala and her Filipino family. On Alex’s 18th birthday, the firebird appears and it might be time to fight for Avalon again…
I didn’t know a lot about this going into it, but I have read other books by the author that I really enjoyed and was thereby excited for this. It did not disappoint! It was fun, exciting, with great diverse characters. I’m so looking forward to get to know them and the world more in the upcoming sequels. I loved how original and inclusive the book was, and generally how much fun I had with it. My main issue was the writing and the worldbuilding, at times it was very info dumpy and the world was explained to us a lot through questions from the MC. This is just one of my least favorites way to world build, but it did work and it didn’t make the book “bad”. I would recommend this a lot! 4/5 stars.
