The prologue and the first chapter are very intriguing and interesting. I really think this will be one of the best Cassandra Clare's books

I missed these characters SO much. Cassie's books were my favorites when I was younger and TDI was definitely the trilogy I needed at that moment.
Now, they're all here: Herondales, Faichilds, Cartairs, Lightwoods and Blackthorns. All the big families all together from the very beginning and I love it.
This first chapter was perfect and I can't wait to read Chain of Gold.

It's so hard to write a short review with only a chapter, but here we go : *sigh* I was so SO glad to come back to this universe, even for one chapter ! The Infernal Devices is my favourite shadowhunter's series, and it's such a delight to be back.

In this first chapter, we get to know the new characters : Lucy and James (Tessa's and Will's children), Cordelia and Alistair Carstairs... The latters settle in the Herondale estate in London with their mothers, following the arrest of Elias Carstairs, their father. A trial has to take place, and Cordelia will do everything to protect her father. In the meantime, it's been a few months demons are hard to find in London and Shadowhunters start to wonder what's could possibly going on. Besides, some love stories begin to blossom as we learn to know the few characters introduced. I cannot wait for its release, and read the whole book !

Thank you so much for an opportunity to read an excerpt of this book. I’m so glad that Cassandra Clare is continuing on in the shadow hunter world. I have invested so much time and energy into this world and I love that it’s still going strong. It’s always hard to adjust to new characters whenever a new series starts up but I have faith that I’ll fall in love with this book as well.

I've read all of Clare's other Shadowhunter books and was so excited when this excerpt was released. I can't wait to get my hands on this book!

Love this sneak peek! It's so great to be back into the Shadowhunter universe! I love the return of old characters and the introduction of new ones. I can already tell this is going to a great book that will build off of the Infernal Devices trilogy. Even just a taste of this story tells me that it's going to be a classic Cassandra Clare story that will be much like her past ones but in a new setting and situation. Can't wait to get the full book on March 3rd!

I was planning to wait and read this excerpt a little closer to the books release date because I knew it would just make me wish I had the book sooner and I was right. I cannot wait to dive back in to one of my favorite fictional universes with a new cast of characters! Just from this brief snippet I already have so many questions and theories so I know the book will have me totally hooked from start to finish!

I hope this introduction gets better, because I was always team Jem and here it doesn't come out much, but I hope it gets better in the whole book.

Am I the only one who loves reading sneak peaks? It’s like a movie trailer for a book. You get a little taste of it and it makes you want it even more. This sneak peek has me so excited for March 3rd. The book opens up with Lucie Herondale's memory of when she was young. She gets lost in the forest and meets a boy there, thought we don’t know who. Fast forward 6 years, to 1903, where we meet James Herondale and his friends, hunting for demons in London. We learn that the Carstairs family is moving here to escape a trial. We get a glimpse of a possible love triangle in the making as well as future parabatai plans. I highly recommend you grab this new Shadowhunters installment by Cassandra Clare!

Chain of Gold is the first book in The Last Hours series by Cassandra Clare. A captivating and intriguing young adult novel that continues the story into the Shadowhunter world. This well-written and mysterious first chapter will pull you into the fascinating world of the unknown. I can't wait to read the rest of the book and look forward to more from this series and author!

I am eternally a Cassandra Clare fan!

Cassandra Clare has done it again.
This book is fantastic! If you're new to the Shadowhunter world, this is a good starting point; and if you're a battle-hardened Shadowhunter fan, this is another great series to dive into.
Meeting the children of the characters from the Infernal Devices series was such a fun ride.
They were complex, intriguing, and fun. I love intricacies of all the relationships, the familial relationships...so much history and foreshadowing. The story was well paced and Clare gave out lots of little nuggets to have me ready for the next book. Chain of Gold is an excellent start to this new series! Is it too early to ask for the next book?

So, so, so excited for this book. I've read this preview so many times but am already in love with James, Cordelia and Lucie.

I am so excited for Cassie's new book and this excerpt really just sealed the deal for me on how excited I really am. I loved the Infernal Devices and getting to revisit some of the characters from that story as well be introduced to their kids and other characters within the Shadowhunters world is going to be so exciting. This excerpt really did get me super excited for the release in less than three weeks!
