The Last Hours: Chain of Iron

Product Information

I think the title 'Chain of Iron' would have been more suiting if it were actually named: 'Chain of Miscommunications and Keeping Secrets'. Especially my sweet pecan pie Matthew who was suffering from unrequited love ( at the end we learn for whom he fell so hard which was not a big surprise for me) drinking to death, dealing with his self-hatred melted my cruel heart!

Overall this was a really fun , dramatic sequel with a great plot and amazing Charracters with their dynamic that I almost couldn't put down. his story also really shows the you can't fix someone just by loving the person and telling them they are okay , a person has too believe those things themselves and accept themselves and want too get better , that quote from Magnus at the top of my review about Matthew really shows that.

Layers and layers of character development, mysterious motives, addictive writing style, added to stunning romance and heartbreaking angst.

There’s too much bad blood between them from the secrets Lucie was hiding related to Jesse, and they just don’t fit together anymore.The development they had wasn’t as much as I had hoped for but their scenes together probably were the scenes that drew the most emotion from me while reading. I guessed who wrote it and what would be in it before I even read this book, all based off of one piece of art. In the meantime I'm going to read the novellas that are about TLH characters, because I need TLH content like right now. if it were not for the thought of his disappointed his parents would be when it all came apart, he might be quite content.

The cursed gracelet should’ve been left behind in book one, because dragging out a single plot point for two entire books is actually insane. I alway get the feeling that he somehow he would turn out to be a villain working along with his mother and Belial and has been using Lucie all along. Not to mention how inconvenient it would be to other states, cities, villages etc in India if everyone had to report in Mumbai. Cortana burns Cordelia when she touches it, and Shadowhunters are being killed by a secret serial killer.However, rather than give background on multiple characters, these flashbacks only follow the history of a specific character— Grace Blackthorn. After finishing Chain of Gold yesterday, I don't think I've been so eager to get my hands on the next book in such a long time. 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. There were some good moments every now and then (which is the reason why I kept reading) but looking back at it now, I’m just disappointed.
