“Lord of Shadows” by Cassandra Clare

Posted on July 6, 2017 by Bec Graham

Hello, blogosphere! It has been a long time since I’ve been here. Last semester completely wiped me out and it was one of the most stressful three month periods that I have endured in a while. When I wasn’t working … Continue reading →

“Lady Midnight” by Cassandra Clare

Posted on March 26, 2016 by Bec Graham

I finished Lady Midnight this morning and I’m not entirely sure how I felt about the experience. There’s this thing that seems to happen to YA authors where, when they get popular, editors just let them do whatever they want, at the … Continue reading →

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turn’d

Posted on January 18, 2016 by Bec Graham

Before we go any further, this is an opinion piece about Shadowhunters. If you disagree with my opinions, that is cool. We can have a completely open debate about our points of view in the comments. But please don’t become … Continue reading →

“Angels Twice Descending” by Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Bec Graham

I feel like there is very little more frustrating than being stuck at home, needing to be somewhere, and yet you can’t leave until your washing is done. I’m heading to my mum’s place for the weekend and I should … Continue reading →

“The Fiery Trial” by Cassandra Clare and Maureen Johnson

Posted on October 25, 2015 by Bec Graham

I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t review this the second I finished it. It’s not like I’m swamped with uni work, or regular work for that matter. I think I just let time get away from me. The thing … Continue reading →

“Born to Endless Night” by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan

Posted on October 20, 2015 by Bec Graham

“Born to Endless Night” was more like a chapter from The Mortal Instruments than it was an instalment of Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy. It bounced between perspectives, just like the main series does. We got a little Simon and a … Continue reading →

“Bitter of Tongue” by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan

Posted on September 21, 2015 by Bec Graham

I have a policy. I never read something new while I’m in the middle of reading something else. I tried it once, when I was in high school, but I kept getting the stories crossed. Even though the stories couldn’t … Continue reading →

Finally. Finally we get some classic Cassandra Clare brilliance. Finally we get a story that’s not just pandering to fans. Finally we get a story in which Clare delights us with nothing but her ability to tell a good story. Finally. … Continue reading →

“The Evil We Love” by Cassandra Clare and Robin Wasserman

Posted on June 18, 2015 by Bec Graham

I’ve started to completely ignore the “release dates” for these stories. The dates are either pushed back or they tell us that the dates are pushed back and they actually aren’t. Either way, my inbox tells me when a new Tales … Continue reading →

“Nothing But Shadows” by Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan

Posted on May 20, 2015 by Bec Graham

  Before I get into this particular story and its strengths and weaknesses, I just want to talk about the cover. Not only have the cover designers given Simon freckles, and so deciding NOT to give him perfect blemish-free skin, … Continue reading →
