Cast Long Shadows

Cast Long Shadows

Matthew Fairchild is the Consul's son and the golden-haired boy of the Nephilim. He has the love of his family and his parabatai James Herondale, and nothing to wish for, except excitement and artistry and beauty that do not seem to fit in with a warrior's way of life. Matthew gets more than he bargained for at the Shadow Market, where he commits the greatest sin of his life - something he can never tell his parabatai, or any of the honorable Shadow hunters around him. Praise for the The Mortal Instruments/The Infernal Devices Series "This crowdpleaser's tension-filled conclusion ratchets towards a new set of mysteries." Kirkus Reviews "[C]ompulsively readable...you can bet your sword newcomers to the world will be rushing to read what they've missed." Booklist "The action-heavy plot takes off from the first page, propelling readers toward a dramatic conclusion..." SLJ

It was a good story but one I will have to re-read in the future after I read the rest of Cassandra's books in this world. I felt a bit lost

I felt the urge to hug Matty and just tell him everything would be okay, and just give him love. And I totally ship him with Lucie Herondale.

სასწაულად კარგი იყო. ჩემთვის ერთ-ერთი საუკეთესო GOTSM ნოველა. ძალიან შემიყვარდა მეთიუ, როგორც პერსონაჟი. ლუსის და ჯეიმსის ნახვა ისედაც ყოველთვის სასიამოვნოა! უილის და ჯემის სცენაზე აღარც ვამბობ არაფერს. მნიშვნელობა არ აქვს რომელ TSC წიგნს ვკითხულობ სულ ჰერონსტეირსის სცენის/ფლეშბექის მოლოდინში ვარ. რა დაიცდის Chain of Gold-ის გამოსვლამდე.

Charlotte and Henry were such fun characters in TID and I was excited to read more about their son, Matthew. He's sweet and innocent and seems to follow the ones who are important to him. His parabatai had to leave school, so he made sure he did as well! Matthew seems sensitive and when he feels something is going on, he's determined to try and figure it out. Brother Zachariah tries to warn and guide him, but Matthew has to learn the hard lesson on his own. I love that we see how Charlotte and Henry were after TID and how Jem still played a part of the family! This take of The Shadow Market is really interesting. After reading about it in The Dark Artifices, I've become very curious. I'm not excited for The Last Hours.

Great! All of our old favorites can be seen here. But it was a pretty heartbreaking story.

This book brought me joy and sorrow. Again I was so excited to get Jem’s POV on the story. I love him! The end was shocking, I’m so interested in the characters for TLH. I need to know what happens with them ASAP!

4.5 Stars I really enjoyed Matthew Fairchild’s personality in this! He has earned a spot on my cinnamon roll list! Just protect! I LOVED the banter between him and the other kids of the London Institute. The part where he asks Christopher Lightwood if any ladies have caught is eye was too much for me. I was listening while driving and probably looked silly, laughing hysterically in an empty car. 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️😭 That said - rumors surrounding Matthew’s family have plagued him for years and his quest for answers leads to him doing something incredibly regrettable. I imagine we will learn quite a bit more about this when The Last Hours comes out. I was a little shocked at the turn the story took, but am looking forward to seeing where it goes. And of course, Jem is a gem!
