No doubt, I’ve said by now, I waited until Queen of Air and Darkness released to read The Dark Artifices. The thing about Cassandra Clare’s book is once I start a series, I need to devour it. The story consumes me and I knew that if the Blackthorns were involved in this trilogy, I’d want…

I go into every Cassandra Clare novel reminding myself I’m likely to cry by the end. Typically this warning is a reminder when I read a final installment of her series’, but I try to keep it in the back of my mind for every book (including the novellas). Even with my reminder, I was…

I wrote this review in December of 2018 thinking it would be my first blog post when I began writing for Bee the Booknerd in January. As I sat down to begin working on my Lord of Shadows discussion, I realized I still wanted to share my thoughts on this less talked about fantasy novel.…
My reading journey began many, many moons ago. Okay… technically I’m only 28, but that counts as many moons! I can remember my dad reading to me. I can remember picking up books, looking at the pictures, and making up my own stories about the books before I learned to read. Reading has been a…
Lady Midnight has been on my list for what feels like forever! I didn’t want to start reading it before all three books in The Dark Artifices trilogy released, but since Queen of Air and Darkness released in December 2018, I now feel prepared to dive into what I’m sure will be a new favorite…

Did you know it’s entirely possible to laugh, cry, and scream while reading a book written by Cassandra Clare? I’ve experienced many emotions while reading her books, but nothing prepared me for the emotions I’d experience while reading Clockwork Princess. First of all, I hate certain tropes. Love triangles being the main trope that I…

With the cliffhanger ending of Clockwork Angel, I knew I’d need to pick up Clockwork Prince immediately! I found it just as enjoyably devastating as Clockwork Angel. This one was a wild ride! I thought I had everything figured out, only to be betrayed over and over again. Let’s start with one of my favorite…

I put off reading The Infernal Devices for a really long time. I love the world Cassandra Clare created, but I was worried I wouldn’t like the historical aspect of TID. To be quite frank, historical fiction doesn’t really interest me (I’m a work in progress!) and that’s exactly what I thought this trilogy would…

Before I discuss my thoughts on the stories, I want to describe how I feel about Magnus Bane. From the moment he was introduced in The Mortal Instruments, I loved him. He is sassy, classy, and smart-assy and I adore how much he seems to like Clary (I mean, he calls her Biscuit and I…

I typically like to start my year by reading something by Cassie Clare. (Read: I actually normally just re-read The Mortal Instruments every January. I’m well aware how strange this is). This year, I opted to reach for the nine Clare novels/novella bind-ups I have on my TBR. I specifically chose now to grab these books because…
