The Wicked Powers Book 1: The Last King of Faerie by Cassandra Clare

 

The Wicked Powers Book 1

It’s Drusilla Blackthorn’s fourth year at Shadowhunter Academy when a chance encounter at a nightclub turns into a kidnapping. Dru finds herself held prisoner by Prince Ash Morgenstern in the land of Faerie, a place that proves just as dangerous as it is beautiful. Despite herself, Dru is drawn to Ash and the darkness that seems to surround him—but one false move could cost her life. 

Meanwhile, a shocking disappearance rocks the foundations of the Shadowhunter world. Kit Herondale and Ty Blackthorn must set aside the bitterness that lingers between them and join forces on a perilous quest to save everything they cherish.

The first installment of the long-awaited concluding trilogy to the Shadowhunter Chronicles has all the nail-biting adventure, heart-pounding romance, and trademark humor that makes Cassandra Clare the reigning queen of YA romantasy.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve been in the Shadowhunters world and it is great to be back! This is the start of the final trilogy of this world. Makes me sad to know there are only a few books left, but what a big world it has been. It’s time for the next generation to tell the story, and the main leads are Dru and Ash, Kit and Ty. With plenty of other povs sprinkled throughout as well. It’s been four years since we’ve seen everyone and things are about to change. So what exactly is going on? Well, everything kicks off when Dru and Clary are kidnapped to Faerie. With Janus holding captive Clary, Ash is doing his best to protect Dru even if it means she is a bit of a prisoner. Janus and the Queen of Seelie have plans that even Ash doesn’t fully know. But Dru and Clary aren’t the only ones who have disappeared. When Ty goes to Kit for help, they both watch helplessly has Kit’s family vanishes before their eyes. And they aren’t the only ones. All the Shadowhunters are disappearing. Right when they were trying to reach peace agreements with the group of zealot Shadowhunters that trapped themselves in Idris. Coincidence? Looks like not. But as Ty and Kit try to help their loved ones, they are pulled into a new quest. The only way into Faerie is if Kit fulfills his path as the Heir. Only the Heir can enter Faerie now. Can they do it before someone stops them? What a crazy beginning to this trilogy!! And the ending? Oh boy. I cannot wait to see what happens next. But I loved being back with all these characters. Especially Ty and Kit who we left off with in a bad place with one another. We’ve also been teased so much Dru and Ash, it was nice to see them thrown together. But man, like all past couples in this series, you know they are gonna have a lot go through before they get their happy endings. Overall, we have a pretty crazy storyline going on. The stakes are higher than ever and I can’t wait to see how it all plays out in the end!
