And through Tessa we got a glimpse of Will Herondale and Brother Zachariah/Jem. In this instalment of Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy, Simon gets two visitors: Jace Lightwood-Herondale and Tessa Gray. I so needed a break from The Visitors and Clare and Johnson gave me that break. My point is that The Whitechapel Fiend came at a marvellous time. I keep getting Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon confused, which is ridiculous because they aren’t even remotely similar! But nonetheless, they’re essentially the same person to my reading mind! The thing is, though, that I think the author assumed that because some of the characters were real people, she didn’t have to bother with actually differentiating them from one another. The underlying premise is rather interesting, though: the effects of the “mummy’s curse” from when Tutankhamun’s tomb was opened in the 1920s. And as such, I will endeavour to finish it. The answer is quite simple: my mother lent it to me. I can hear you asking me why I would bother with a terrible novel. At present, I am reading a truly terrible novel called The Visitors.
