Before I read Chain of Gold, I decided to reread The Infernal Devices and all of the short stories leading up to Chain of Gold. It was worth it because Chain of Gold has such a massive cast of teenage Shadowhunters, it is easy to get confused.

Chain of Gold follows James and Lucie Herondale, children of Will Herondale and Tessa Gray; Alastair and Cordelia Carstairs, cousins to Jem Carstairs; Matthew and Charles Fairchild, children of Henry Branwell and Charlotte Fairchild; Anna and Christopher Lightwood, children of Cecily and Gabriel Lightwood; Thomas Lightwood, son of Sophie and Gideon Lightwood; and Grace and Jesse Blackthorn, children of Tatiana Blackthorn.

All of their lives intertwine when, after a long quiet period, strange demon attacks occur on Shadowhunters in London, in daylight! James is faced with discovering his grand-parentage, Cordelia seeks mercy for her father, Matthew struggles with his personal demons, each person has their own battle in this story.

Well-loved characters makes their appearances from previous books: The Infernal Devices gang: Will, Jem, Tessa, Magnus Bane!

Ultimately, though it was a massive book, it felt too short when it came to the adventures of our new Shadowhunter cast.
