![]() ![]() One of the major criticisms readers had of her previous series, The Dark Artifices, was that the author went overboard with the number of narrator characters in an attempt to give multiple perspectives on the story. Clare has clearly learned from previous blunders. The perfect sequel to Chain of Gold, this book escapes the middle novel curse that some of her other trilogies fell victim to. The Writing Keeps Getting Better and Better I felt that I had to lower my expectations for Chain of Iron, the second installment of her The Last Hours trilogy.Īnd yet, as someone who has been a fan of these books for over a decade, Chain of Iron turned out to be nearly everything I needed it to be. ![]() With her teasing yet more love triangles, necromantic attempts and visits to hellish dimensions, things could start to feel redundant. ![]() Cassandra Clare has over 20 published books in The Shadowhunter Chronicles series, and it’s hard to expect all of them to be as great as Chain of Gold. I have a confession to make about Chain of Iron: I was prepared to be thoroughly disappointed by this novel. ![]()

Thi Bui’s debut graphic novel memoir, The Best We Can Do, in its firsthand account of her family’s journey from Vietnam into the United States, gives the reader that space to experience the anguish of immigration, first from North Vietnam to the South, then into refugee camps, before finally settling into the United States. As an example, we have frequent conversations on immigration as a policy, but not as commonly do we have conversations about the emotional devastation and trauma that comes with choosing to leave for a new country.

Yes, many harbor hatred for her because of her mothers’ inaction, but the way she makes friends and breaks down those barriers verges more on the unbelievable side, too simplistic. Some real issues are going on between them, lots of inner turmoil that changes the dynamics between these two, it would have been nice to see these developed more until this point, to see their relationship fleshed out more. They are not so different from when they met so it comes off as underdeveloped. There is no development of their dynamic and no hint of a breakup or that turmoil of why the break-up. Josephson backed herself into a little bit of a corner here because their breakup is too clean. ![]() ![]() ![]() And he knows if he gets too close it will destroy Nan, who has a secret connection to Blaire. ![]() Even if he craves her.īecause Rush knows why Blaire is all alone in the world, forced to ask for help from the father who abandoned her three years ago.
