Review: Lord of Shadows

Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

(9.28.17) I'll write a review when I have time but right now my heart is torn into pieces. How can so much happen in just 10 pages?!

Review (12.4.17). Read June 15th-September 28th 2017

It took me a while to finish this, mainly because I was working and got into a huge reading slump. I' writing the review now because I completly forgot to.

I honestly enjoyed this more than LM! I loved the way we learnt more about Diana and Dru. I've been waiting so long( actually over a year since LM) to hear what was up with Diana. I wont go into detail because spoilers, but lets just say i'm glad Clare is incorporating basically everything with the LGBTQ+ community. Back to Dru, can I just say that I love how this 13yr old basically told her brother(who is basically their parent) "Nah i'm going with you. idc". She's grown up so much in just a book, honestly.
Character development in general is amazing and I really love how one thing can affect someone/thing and just change everything.

I was hoping they would be able to help Annabel but you know, nothing goes how you want it too.

What I'm Doing in Greece. 4-6

Day 04: 23 May NAUPLIA Drive Nauplia via Corinth, Mycenae and Epidaurus Theatre This morning after breakfast we depart and dive to Nauplia via visits to Corinth, Mycenae and the Epidaurus Theatre . We first drive to ancient Corinth for a brief visit. During the 6 th century BCE, Corinth was one of the three major powers in Greece and took part in all the battles against the Persians. That Corinth was one of the richest Greek cities is made evident by the extensive remains, including the huge Agora (market place) and the Apollo Temple , which we visit. We then continue to Mycenae . The Citadel of Mycenae occupies the triangular summit of a low hill between two gorges. The Mycenaeans excelled in a style of building using large, unworked stones. These massive fortifications were begun in the 14 th century BCE, followed by Tiryns and Dendra, Argos and Athens, as well as a host of subsidiary forts and, eventually, a huge wall across the Corinthian Isthmus. The famous Lion Ga...

What I'm Doing In Greece 10-12

Day 10: 29 May O/N FERRY HD tour: Meteora. Drive Piraeus via Thermopylae. Ferry This morning we depart the hotel on a half day tour to visit the Monasteries of Meteora. In the afternoon we drive to Athens via Thermopylae. Meteora is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox Monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos. The monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars at the north-western edge of the Plain of Thessaly. This morning we visit several monasteries (usually 3 in total; periodic closures determine which ones we visit), including the Metamorphosis (Grand Meteora), built on the highest rock at 613m (2,030 ft.). Its striking series of frescoes depict the persecution of Christians by the Romans. We then visit two other monasteries (depends on which are accessible on the day). After our monastery visits, we pick up our bags from the hotel and depart for Athens, stopping to visit Thermopylae , en route. It was at Thermopylae where t...
