I would advise skipping this review as I'm highly biased. The third book of chronologically previous series - The Infernal Devices - was the first book that I've read in English. It holds a lot of sentimental value for me.
Chain of Gold follows a lot of offsprings of familiar characters. It always amazed me how in such series everyone has offspings. But I may give it a pass here fot the time period sake and Shadowhunters do tend to die fairly quickly.
This book did managed to return me to the old good days even if for a bit. Ths feels like a very familiar teen drama with something always happenning. Did this book need to be that long? Probably not. But it was fairly entertaining with constant action all over the place.
I can only complain for the suspense beeing a bit too open. As a reader, we see that something is wrong with some characters way too early, but other charecters don't (I'm starting the second book and they still don't see it). It is a bit tiring.
