Queen of air and darkness Book Review

Queen of Air and Darkness


So far in my book the main characters Julian, Emma, Christina and Mark have been involved in some pretty cool action filled death defying missions. This is the third book in the series. The story arc is following Emma and Julian's complicated, extremely forbidden and law breaking, family breaking, love story. And also the love triangle/pentagon with Mark, Christina and Kieran. Believe me both of these love stories are very confusing to understand. But! While these are going their is also a half war half revolution going on because the inquisitor of the shadow hunter council (The Clave) sucks quite a fair deal. And his daughter is really annoying. Basically they hate him. But that's not the main story arc. Julian and Emma can't fall in love because of a curse called the parabatai curse (They are parabatai), the curse means that if parabatai where to fall in love then they get stronger and more powerful but then they get so strong that they become mindless monsters that will destroy everything that gets in their path. So, naturally, they are so keen on that because Julian has 6 siblings and the oldest, Helen Blackthorn, got sent away because of a law that passed after the dark war called the cold peace. Which basically means that faeries have no rights, at all… and Helen is a half faerie so she got sent away to an island called wrangel island. And Mark, who is also half faerie, got captured by a faerie “gang” called the wild hunt, and they are pretty gangsta. (No, actually they reap the souls of the dead and help them pass on to the afterlife. They also are pretty scary and strong)

So because of this Julian was the oldest and at 11 he had to look after all the children and he now thinks of himself as their father. So yeah. Doesn't want to kill them. I would say the main goal of the characters in the book is to exterminate the cold peace. But there is also a lot going on as well that could take ages to write, Like the main villain from another series related to this one I found out had a child that enters things in this book! Which I think is awesome because I loved that villains narrative.

Anyway thats basically whats poppin in Queen of Air and Darkness.

100% 10 stars. I love this series and author (Cassandra Clare) so much!!
