Pretty good addition to the series. Seeing Jace is always comical and Tessa! We got to see Tessa! I loved this one. It had history, comedy, everything really. So far this is my favorite one that I read. 5 out of 5 stars.

This is definitely my favorite one so far! It's less about Simon (sorry Simon) and more about Jace, which was a nice surprise. I'm so glad that Clare has decided to give her old characters such a place in these novellas!
But what made me enjoy this novella as much as I did was because of Tessa, Will, Jem & the others of the London Institute! The Infernal Devices is my favorite series Cassandra Clare has written so far, and I was so glad to get back to these characters. I only now realized how much I've missed them! And seeing them post-TID makes me so happy. I'm glad they're all living the lives they deserve! The setting in these books is also amazing. I need more Shadowhunter stories set in the Victorian era! Reading this made me so much more excited for The Last Hours! I don't think I'll be able to wait much longer.
The story of Jack the Ripper was captivating. I would never have expected that twist at the end! Cassandra Clare is good at surprising me with plot twists!
Can I also just mention that the narration of the audiobook was amazing? I absolutely loved it! Luke Pasqualino did an incredible job!
