Story
The Shadow Market is a meeting point for faeries, werewolves, warlocks and vampires. There the Downworlders buy and sell magical objects, make dark bargains and whisper secrets they do not want the Nephilim to know. Through two centuries, however, there has been a frequent visitor to the Shadow Market from the City of Bones, the very heart of the Shadowhunters. As a Silent Brother, Brother Zachariah is sworn keeper of the laws and lore of the Nephilim. But once he was a Shadowhunter called Jem Carstairs, and his love, then and always, is the warlock Tessa Gray.
Publisher's Summary
Sunny Los Angeles can be a dark place indeed in Cassandra Clare's Lord of Shadows, the sequel to the number-one New York Times and USA Today best-selling Lady Midnight. Lord of Shadows is a Shadowhunters novel.
Emma Carstairs has finally avenged her parents. She thought she'd be at peace. But she is anything but calm. Torn between her desire for her parabatai Julian and her desire to protect him from the brutal consequences of parabatai relationships, she has begun dating his brother, Mark. But Mark has spent the past five years trapped in Faerie; can he ever truly be a Shadowhunter again?
And the faerie courts are not silent. The Unseelie King is tired of the Cold Peace and will no longer concede to the Shadowhunters' demands. Caught between the demands of faerie and the laws of the Clave, Emma, Julian, and Mark must find a way to come together to defend everything they hold dear - before it's too late.

Lost
I had no idea what I was expecting. It was quite slow at the start and towards the end it gets better. I read Chain of Iron just before this and I'll say, I prefer that to this. I've heard people say Cassie's 2nd books are usually one of the best in a series but I dont rmb much City of something,😅 City of Lost Souls (only rmb being so annoyed) and Clockwork Prince (blank). The narrator is quite good at making the different voices, though I do get confused sometimes, especially towards the end.

Holy hell - litterally
After being wowed over and over by the immortal instruments and the infurno devices, how is it possible to reach even further? Through Cassandra Claire's brilliance, she has managed to not only pull off 3 amazing series but strategically bring this world to it's knees using all storielines as her guide to keep them all conected. The amazing thing about all books, is they never feel rushed as if the writer is in a hurry to get to the end. She lets her characters development into themselves creating remarkable and beautiful characters you come to love or hate. . Lord of shadows is no exception and once again am still in awe and can't wait for what Cassandra has in store for the shadow hunters next given this shocking ending in preperation for the next.. Just when you think, there may be respite, a happy ending, she catches you off guard which is part of what a truly talented author can do. If you're into a quick and catchy book, this is not for yu but if you have the patience to let this world in, you will not be disappointed. As for what's coming...I'm not even gonna try guess but know it will be yet another masterpiece.

Great next instalment
Would you consider the audio edition of Lord of Shadows to be better than the print version?
Yes - I have both editions and enjoyed the audio far more because of the amazing narration by James Marsters
What did you like best about this story?
That it continued the mortal instruments world with another shadow hunter family
What about James Marsters’s performance did you like?
His ability to give a voice to each character and take on many accents was utterly engaging. He is a fantastic actor and I truly hope that he gets to narrate the next instalments and many more.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, a character discovering the the part desperation played in his relationship - it was such an enlightening part showcasing the complexities of some relationships
Any additional comments?
This is a good addition and expansion for the shadow hunter world progressing on from the Mortal Instruments which I loved, but not as much as The Infernal Devices which is my favourite Cassandra Clare series. If you are new to the shadow hunter world start at the Infernal Devices, if you have read them and the Mortal Instruments, read on and enjoy.

What made the experience of listening to Lord of Shadows the most enjoyable?
Great story line, possibly better than TMI series. The narration is better than on the other books
Who was your favorite character and why?
Julian, captured the character very well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes - 24 hour book and I got through it in 2 days, could not stop listening.

Excellent narration.
I slated book 1 in this series. The narration was simply monotonous. I can only say how much more I enjoyed this book with James Masters as the narrator. Certainly.y will purchase next instalment since he is again doing the narration.

At last a great narrator
I hadn't minded the majority of the narrators for the whole Shadowhunter series (even the obe for the previous book was ok if you slow the speed down .75) James Marsters made me realise what was lacking. I have enjoyed the whole series of main books and prequels a lot... but with James reading this, it was raised to a whole new level.

Well, what an ending!
Enjoyed the book for the most part.
There was the odd bits that were hard to follow as it jumped about a bit.
Still can't wait for the next one, to see what happens to everyone else
But not overly impressed with the narrator. no one seemed to have their own voice, which made it difficult to keep up with who was who at times.
I do wish a good narrator could be used for the whole series of books.

****Heart Breaking****
I have always loved Cassandra Clare and appreciated the fact that she doesn't gloss over her books, the way she tell her stories are naked and Raw and emotional. She delved into the human psyches and emotions, her books are not all sugary sweet and HEA ending, it is why i loved her style so much, she doesn't hold any punches instead sucker punch in the gut and changes you from the inside out.
