Review of Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices #3) by Cassandra Clare

 


What if damnation is the price of true love?

Innocent blood has been spilled on the steps of the Council Hall, the sacred and famous stronghold of the Shadowhunters. In the wake of the tragic death of Livia Blackthorn, the Clave teeters on the brink of out and out civil war. One fragment of the Blackthorn family flees to the institute in Los Angeles, seeking to hopefully discover the source of the disease that is destroying the race of warlocks. Meanwhile, Julian and Emma start taking a desperate measure to try to put their forbidden love aside and undertake a perilous mission to Faerie to retrieve the Black Volume of the Dead. When they find in the Courts is a secret that may tear the Shadow World asunder and open a dark path into a future they could never imagined. They then find themselves caught in a race against time, they must save the world before the deadly power of the Parabatai curse destroys them and everyone that they love.

Everything I have read in the Shadowhunter universe has led up to this moment and i have not been disappointed with how this has turned out. I now have a new set of friends whom i have become invested in and can not wait to go one more adventure. This has been an adventure this year and I can not wait until we get the next installments of the world. This book follows immediately after the events which happened in Los Angeles, the fascists are still trying to control the Clave and intent on dictate how the Downworlders should be treated. With the warlocks hurting and disruption in the Faerie, many of our beloved characters are missing, however so many individuals are grieving the loss of loved ones. This book in my opinion that this book is a love letter turned in to a letter of grief and Clare does this is a way no other author can do it.
