So I had this book forever, really, since it was published, 'cause I spent my highschool years being obsessed with Shadowhunters. But at the time I didn't end up reading it, I felt I was not longer vibing with Clare's writing and I am terrified of long books. But lately I had been wanting to read her latest series, The Last Hours, so obviously I had to finally read QoAaD, and I'm glad I did. Emma has since been my favorite Shadowhunter protagonist ever since she was introduced, she's fierce, she's independent but she feels so much emotion and empathy, and Julian... Surpassing the Herondales as my favorite boys is a feat I didn't think anyone would ever do, but he did. And the side characters are amazing, Mark, Cristina and Kieran (whose development along the series I just love, he has grown so much), the little Blackthorns (who I desperately need more about) and obviously our well known Clary and Jace.
There's just something about the way Cassie Clare writes that just entraps you. I declare myself fully back on the Shadowhunter train

So much happens in this book it really could’ve been 2. However the non stop action and high stakes was enjoyable and the ending was great. That epilogue though was a surprise.
