Magnus and Alec getting used to each others worlds is well written and shown realistically, and so were their responses to each others actions while getting acclimatized.

Some mentions of war

Some mentions of fire and possible burns during the end but nothing too serious, was not vivid.

£2 in a charity shop? dont mind if i do...
if i was rating purely off vibes this would be 5 stars because everyone knows im a slut for malec, the same 14 y/o girl that got up at 1am every tuesday night to livestream shadowhunters before school so she wouldnt get spoilers is the same 21 y/o girl who cherishes these characters so very much for the guidance they gave her in her teenage years. it might sound silly to some but so much of my sexuality journey   came during shadowhunters airing and i think without alec id have really struggled to accept it. and so coming back to this couple at this age is a treasure and im so happy i have another one to read <3
