Chain of Thorns is the third and final book in The Last Hours trilogy by Cassandra Clare set in her Shadowhunter's world.
Oh this book is so bittersweet for me. I have been reading this series ever since the third book came in The Mortal Instrumentsand to see how far it's come is astounding. I absolutely loved this book even though it did rip my heart out (thanks Cassandra Clare).
First off, I just adored these characters. I thought they were so well rounded and interesting to read from. They are the children of characters in Cassandra Clare's series The Infernal Devices and it's so interesting to see how their a little like their parents. They are wholly their own persons of course but you can see traits that will pop up in other books in this world. 
I just loved the characters so much. They all hold such a special place in my heart and it broke my heart seeing them go through so many trails and tribulations. Cassandra Clare doesn't hold her punches when it comes to these books and she really let them fly in this. i was so invested in this book that when I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about the characters and the plot. 
I though the plot was so interesting as it almost parallels another plot we see in another series in this world. I love how Cassandra Clare weaves these mysteries together and how we try to unravel them before the characters do. I was so invested in this story and wanted to know what was going to happen. I am so happy I got to read this book and this series as it truly owns my heart.
Overall, I loved this book and I can see this being one of those series I go back to time and again. I cannot recommend it enough.
