![]() ![]() First up, we’ll discuss my main issues with the writing and storyline, the messiness of the Blackthorns and how Lucie definitely got away with necromancy and I will die mad about it. I had … a lot … of thoughts on this book, so I’ve decided to split this into two parts. I wanted a book that would tear me to pieces the same way Clockwork Princess and Lord of Shadows did in the past, but what I got was unearned happy endings that left me frustrated and deflated. It’s a very safe narrative with no impact, no consequence and no surprises. What happens on page with plot work is lackluster and unsatisfying - a series of recycled plot points and tropes used in her other series. ![]() Some of our biggest emotional turning points don’t get scenes at all they get delivered after the fact by third parties. ![]() A lot of this book happens off page, actually. Clare does her usual magic with most of our characters, especially with Matthew, but others get left in the dust with plot lines that never get fleshed out and end off page - I’m looking at you, Grace, Jesse, and even Lucie. It has some of the most awkward pacing issues, and so little of the heart that I often associate with The Shadowhunters Chronicles. That being said, it didn’t even graze my expectations, and my rating of 3.8 stars is only because I love Matthew Fairchild so incredibly much and, thus, am biased.Ĭhain of Thorns was a mess of tangled storylines that felt rushed yet dragged on forever. ![]()
