Others: Mostly positiveThe Shadowhunters of Los Angeles star in the first novel in Cassandra Clare’s newest series, The Dark Artifices, a sequel to the internationally bestselling Mortal Instruments series. Lady Midnight is a Shadowhunters novel. It’s been five years since the events of City of Heavenly Fire that brought the Shadowhunters to the brink of oblivion. Emma Carstairs is no longer a child in mourning, but a young woman bent on discovering what killed her parents and avenging her losses. Together with her parabatai Julian Blackthorn, Emma must learn to trust her head and her heart as she investigates a demonic plot that stretches across Los Angeles, from the Sunset Strip to the enchanted sea that pounds the beaches of Santa Monica. If only her heart didn’t lead her in treacherous directions… Making things even more complicated, Julian’s brother Mark—who was captured by the faeries five years ago—has been returned as a bargaining chip. The faeries are desperate to find out who is murdering their kind—and they need the Shadowhunters’ help to do it. But time works differently in faerie, so Mark has barely aged and doesn’t recognize his family. Can he ever truly return to them? Will the faeries really allow it? Glitz, glamours, and Shadowhunters abound in this heartrending opening to Cassandra Clare’s Dark Artifices series.

Loved itthen we go on to queen of shadows possibly one of my favorite books in the series
Review 1 of 2
Loved itthis was my favorite book of the series before kingdom of ash and I reread it last year and still five stars but I think it is elite status it's either God or elite I don't know we need something in elite though it's so good
Not a fanI DNFed this book after 15 pages. I really enjoyed the rest of the Throne of Glass series, but I picked up this book and I was reading it and I just realized that I didn't care.
MixedI didn't necessarily hate it was a pull between hate and love because there were so many things I disliked but so many things that I loved and that's why it's kind of higher up on the list cuz it was just so heart crushingly disappointing for me
Loved itI just loved how much action we had in this book in particular. I really enjoyed a lot of the character development as well.
Loved itYes, Queen of Shadows, also one of my favorite books of this year.
Loved itthis book was just a masterpiece now I know there are some points of controversy surrounding this book but for me personally I love LED every minute of it
Not a fanyou probably know by now that I did not really like Queen of Shadows it just I did not get along with the book I had some real issues with character development which really dampened my enjoyment of the book
Loved itthis book was so freaking good I honestly am just unsure of how next year is going to go because I don't know how you can top this book it has moved up this is probably my second favorite book of all time
Loved itI have loved every installment of the series and I feel like it just keeps getting better and better... so this was my favorite YA book of the year.
Loved itI debated quite a bit about having this on my list but ultimately I loved the book I loved the series and I couldn't not include it amongst all these other fantastic novels
