Queen of Air and Darkness (The Dark Artifices, #3)
The Dark Artifices Book 3
Dark secrets and forbidden love threaten the very survival of the Shadowhunters in Cassandra Clare’s Queen of Air and Darkness, the final novel in the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling The Dark Artifices trilogy.

What if damnation is the price of true love?

Innocent blood has been spilled on the steps of the Council Hall, the sacred stronghold of the Shadowhunters. In the wake of the tragic death of Livia Blackthorn, the Clave teeters on the brink of civil war. One fragment of the Blackthorn family flees to Los Angeles, seeking to discover the source of the blight that is destroying the race of warlocks. 

Meanwhile, Julian and Emma take desperate measures to put their forbidden love aside and undertake a perilous mission to Faerie to retrieve the Black Volume of the Dead. What 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 have imagined. Caught in a race against time, Emma and Julian must save the world of Shadowhunters before the deadly power of the parabatai curse destroys them and everyone they love.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

By the Angel this book was so insane and really, really fantastic. So much happened it is no wonder the book is 900 pages. But every moment was amazing and brilliant. There was nothing disappointing about this book. Filled with twists and turns, heart breaks and moments of love, hints of the future, and so much more. We were given so much more than I thought would be possible. Everyone told a part in this story and I loved that. No one was missed. It picks up immediately where the last one ended and everyone has to find a way to deal with their grief, the consequences of Annabel Blackthorn, and the extremists in the Shadowhunter ranks that are causing chaos and destruction. And if that wasn't bad, Emma and Julian are still trying to figure out how to stop the parabatai curse. And boy the results with that curse were insane!! Every moment of this book was a page turner. I read so quickly, determined to find out what would happen. I'm always so afraid to read these books because they are so unpredictable and I love all the characters and to see anything bad happen to them would be so heartbreaking. But as soon as I dive back into the Shadowhunter world, I remember all the things I love about it and I am eager to read it and for all the new ones to come out. And with this ending the Wicked Powers series is going to be insane and I am going to be so impatient for it to come out! I don't want to spoil anything, this is one book you don't want to be spoiled. Amazing book.
