Queen of Air and Darkness The Dark Artifices Book 3 eBook Cassandra Clare

Cassandra Clare is a gifted writer and has created a fun universe with her shadowhunters series. I cannot fault her writing skills or story telling ability.

In this final book, there is a good payoff for previous readers with characters from the earlier series playing seminal roles.
However, it seems to come at a sacrifice of newer characters who were created for the dark artifices series. For example, the titular Lady of Air and Darkness is hardly featured.

A number of the new characters are heavily built up as important then sidelined and hastily packed away, probably in the hopes of generating enough interest to score another 3-book deal with the publishers. Or perhaps the writer wrote herself into a hole and couldn't be bothered to resolve their storylines.

I'm really irritated that I waited almost 2 years for this.

Queen of Air and Darkness The Dark Artifices Book 3 eBook Cassandra Clare Reviews

Loving these characters and this world SO much, I have to say I was highly disappointed! Too many characters, too many moving plots...For all her presence and power potential Annabel was utterly wasted as a character! Felt like the complete second half of the book was ripped from Buffy the Vampire and so was not original and disappointing! The ending utterly maddening and the Epilouge worse! Spent so much time setting up characters Dru, Ty, Kit, Ash, for the final series that the problems in this series were resolved unrealistically and cheapened... I LOVED every story in the Ghosts of the Shadowmarket so I will give those characters another chance...
I read, "The Dark Artifacts" series because I was very interested in Julian and Emma's story. Books one and two were awesome. The final book in the trilogy is okay, but its less about Julian and Emma, and more about polyamorous, and gay relationships, and transgender persons. The underlying story was good, but all the unusual relationships were in the forefront. I felt really strongly that the author was going over board with the relationships and playing to the fad of LBGT .Okay I get it, there are a lot of different types of relationships in the world, and people are good no matter their sexual orientation. Anyway, I liked the book and I hope there is a story coming featuring Kit, Dru, Ash, and Ty.
Some spoilers ahead. Wish I could do half stars, as I'd give this 3.5.

I will admit that this was not my favorite book in the series. Some romantic elements felt quite rushed, and I'll probably have to reread the first two books to see if I missed some subtle clues involving a certain love triangle, but I wasn't mad at the resolution, even if it was so drawn out. They're happy! They're not! They cannot be together! They can be together! No problems or side eyes at all? While I would love to believe people are open and understanding, the entire plot of this book is how people aren't open and understanding, so I found their Happy Ever After a little too easy. I certainly appreciated the unique and quite progressive way the characters' relationship was settled instead of using the tired tropes of most love triangles, but I still felt dissatisfied with it overall.

To name a book after a character sets a certain expectation. That expectation is that said character will be involved in the story in some important way. That was not the case with this book. I was also a little lost on her motivation. Her mood swings and odd behavior were never addressed, which I would have liked. Was it the resurrection? Was it the torture? Where did her book go? Why did the fey name her so? Why why why and no answers. Maybe I read too fast and missed something.

Overall, I liked it, but I found it frustrating and random in more than a few places. I would have appreciated a more satisfying ending, and not just the set up for another series. I also found the idea of everyone just giving up their ancestral home a bit too easy. Maybe that's the best description...After all the strife, all the problems got little bows of perfect endings and very little conflict. The fate of the cohort was especially ludicrous, and yet another "loose end" I assume will be picked up in the next series or so.

Much more sexytime in this book, that's for sure.

I liked the continuation of more character POVs, but it did make the book the tome it is.

I will continue to read Clare's books. The humor was much more prevalent in this book, and Aline was the queen of the snark and I need more of her. I started reading Clare because of the Very Secret Diaries and I hope more of the books will include her humor.
I felt like I was being beaten over the head with the author’s political agenda. The entire plot of good shadow hunter verses bad shadow hunter was obviously a reference to democrats and republicans with the head evil shadow hunter being Trump. It really got old after a while. Entire book was annoying
