WALKER BOOKS The Last Hours: Chain of Gold

Is this the full book?

Bought this when it was on sale and I love the illustrations inside :)

Só comprei porque essa edição porque minha amiga comprou e disse que essa de colecionador era pra vir com a capa impressa na própria capa dura (a dela veio, a minha não) mas veio com o papel envolta como sempre nas edições normais, estou decepcionada. Deviam Colocar mais imagens e informações como essas para não enganar as pessoas.

Wow! I’m not even sure how to put into words how much I enjoyed this book. I’ve read some previous books by Cassandra Clare before but this is my favourite to date.Chain of Gold is the first book in the Shadowhunter trilogy The Last Hours. It follows Cordelia, who has moved to London after her father was disgraced. She has to try and integrate with her fellow shadowhunters and save him. But there is a new danger in the form of Demons that can appear during the day. Can she stay safe and achieve her goal?This book made me feel so many emotions. I found myself laughing at all the amazing sassy remarks. I found myself with tears in my eyes as the walls that characters had built up started to tumble down. I also experienced such intense frustration that I wanted to climb into the book and physically shake sense into James! The book shifts between differing time points, following the characters’ present and their pasts. It took me a little while to get used to this but once I got to grips with it I absolutely loved it.Cassandra Clare has created such a vivid world with the shadowhunters. I love the intricate details that reappear across the books. I fell completely in love with Cordelia. I love a book with a strong female character but Cordelia seemed to take this even further. She has so much strength, both emotionally and physically. But she also has a deep kindness and love for others. I was also really pleased that one of my favourite characters from past books made an appearance. I absolutely adore Magnus Bane and I definitely think he needs to go and get his cat! This is a story of love, bravery and inheritance. But most of all, it’s a story of friendship.I absolutely recommend this book to any fantasy fans! I’m a new convert to fantasy novels, and this book has made me want to read every fantasy novel I can find right this instant! I want to thank Tandem Collective, Walker Books and Cassandra Clare for allowing me to read this book and give my personal thoughts.

'Stories offer a thousand fresh starts.'It's been quiet in the Shadowhunter world but Cordelia Carstairs arrives and it all goes off!!!!So it's no secret I love Will Herondale more than any other Shadowhunter, but James and Matthew are really right up there with him now but still not beating him for my affections! Actually there were parts where I wanted to slap James but it wasn't really his fault!Also the ending made me very angry! I wanted to add a few spoilers here to explain my anger but I won't! I'm actually heartbroken with the turn of events, it was painful, but I guess that's the mark of a great read and also there wouldn't be any further books with plain sailing so I'll say no more!So we have Cordelia, Lucie, The Merry Thieves and more demons, always a good mix for a Shadowhunter book!I did feel a bit slow up until the middle part and then it got going but still a great read! Need more now!

I had read both the Infernal Devices and Mortal Instruments sagas and I did enjoyed very very much. But I just feel that with this novel she just repeats the same formula over and over again, using the link to the beloved Castair’s and Herondale’s.I found the storyline predictable, hence boring; the characters one dimensional or a copy of what we have seen before; writing very simple. Overall I couldn’t immerse at all.Take in mind that this comes from someone who has read many books from her and looooooved them. But I forcefully finished this one, but won’t be continuing with the next ones

Really happy with my purchase! Managed to get this paperback version of Chain of Gold for only £4.42! really good quality and came not damaged with prime delivery next day. The front cover is absolutely beautiful and I can not wait to start reading and get back into the shadow hunter world!!! :)
