A #1 New York Times Bestseller! The Shadowhunters must catch a killer in Edwardian London in this dangerous and romantic sequel to the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Chain of Gold, from New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cassandra Clare. Chain of Iron is a Shadowhunters novel. Cordelia Carstairs seems to have everything she ever wanted. She’s engaged to marry James Herondale, the boy she has always loved; she has a new life in London with her best friend Lucie; and she bears the sword Cortana, a legendary hero’s blade. But the truth is far grimmer. Cordelia’s marriage is a lie, arranged to save her reputation, while James remains in love with the Grace Blackthorn. Cortana burns her when she touches it. And a serial murderer is targeting the Shadowhunters of London, killing under cover of darkness, then vanishing without a trace. Now Cordelia, James, and Lucie must follow the trail of the killer through the city’s most dangerous streets. All the while, each is keeping a shocking secret: Lucie, that she is attempting to raise the dead; Cordelia, that she has sworn a dangerous oath of loyalty to a mysterious power; and James, that he himself may be the killer they seek.

I actually really enjoyed this but there is some flaws.
Cordelia is the main character but.. why? she's boring me and has no personality while every other character does. Why is the story focused on her?
I switched between the physical book and audiobook for this one, it was great until the audiobook gave Magnus an accent that I can only describe as JARRING. It jumpscared me more than once. Truly terrifying.
I hated TDA but loved CCs other series so I had high and low hopes for this series and im glad it met the high ones!
anyways next book pls
Le tenía altas esperanzas a este libro y no sé como me siento al respecto.
Odio que tenemos unos personajes increíbles como Matthew y James y no ha sabido tratar sus historias y su desarrollo, sinceramente no he visto un buen desarrollo de los personajes.
Tenemos plot de sobra para un libro 3 y de golpe, PUM, un drama innecesario y un maldito triangulo amoroso que sale de la nada y solo complica la situación, por no hablar de que no va a afectar a 3 personajes, sino a todo un grupo.
Matthew no necesita un interés amoroso, Matthew necesita una amistad que lo ayude, encima con Cordelia cuando todos sabemos que Cordelia y James están enamorados, es darle más sufrimiento a un personaje que ya tiene historia. Odio todo.
Encima la trama del brazalete muy repetitiva, James es un Herondale diferente y podría haber tenido buen desarrollo pero toda su personalidad durante dos libros ha girado en torno a una maldita pulsera.
Lo único que me ha gustado ha sido la trama del asesino o asesina jeje Y JESSE Y LUCIE, LOS AMO MUCHÍSIMO.
That ending was the most infuriating thing ever. I am fuming!
I forgot about the ridiculus barriers Cassandra Clare puts between the characters.
SO good that I started reading this series when the final book was already out because otherwise it would've been were unhealthy for me.
