This book is not my favorite. Simon was definitely one of my favorite parts of the book. I loved hearing his perspective on things. I think that overall the character development was lacking in this book. But I’m still excited to continue the rest of the series.

While several exciting things happen in this book it had the feel of mostly being a set up for the next book. You also spend almost more time with Simon than Clary or Jace. Anxious to see what all this set up leads to.

absolutely loved this. this is definitely one of my favourite series and I can't wait to read the rest 🥰
I love the characters, my favourites are probably Alec, Magnus, Isabelle and Simon. but I love all of them so much.
The ending in this was so- woah.

Spoiler

Um um um welp. I am very confused/ concerned about that ending!!! Uh I really hope that what I think just happened didn’t actually happen. All I want is for Jace and Clary to be happy kids in love but NOPE of course they can’t have this in the shitshow of a shadowhunter world they live in. Ugh. Hhtjsogirjgiosogodogjdkkghdivid so disappointing I just want cute happy fluffy clace romance but fhkskfjdjg. Okay anyways now that the shock in my system is out, I really enjoyed the book. It was very interesting to see everything from so many different character’s perspectives, and I thought that the newly introduced characters were helpful to the plot as much as I might have hated it. I’m getting closer to the final book, and I just desperately hope that everything turns out all right.
