OMG. there's Will, there's a tiny bit of Jem, there's Tessa and there's Jace. And of course Simon and George. The only person actually missing from my list of favorite characters is Magnus, and hey he's mentioned! And then there's Jack the Ripper. I always thought the story of Jack the Ripper was fascinating and this was from a completely different view! So yeah: AMAZING

Basta dire che questi racconti sono su Simon, perché sono sugli Herondale e sull'ossessione che la Clare ha di loro (se anche il prossimo è su Jace o un qualche Herondale lo tiro in faccia alla Clare perché dopo un po' BASTA!).L'unica cosa consolante è stato rivedere Gabriel e Cecily, per il resto MEH!

Tremendo è dir poco, ho visto gestire la storia di Jack lo squartatore in milioni di modi e non ne ho mai visto uno peggiore di questo. Insomma sto leggendo questi racconti per Simon e Simon non c'è mai e quando c'è è bistrattato e completamente rovinato, allora spero di rifarmi con la storia di Jack lo Squartatore che però fa pietà. Quindi a chi è piaciuto che cosa ha apprezzato? tranne "WIIIIIILLL! TEEEEESSA!" ed i siparietti senza senso con Jem che la Clare infatti giustifica con "le altre persone non capivano il loro rapporto" ma tu guarda! chissà come mai! è così NORMALE! Ormai la Clare ha capito che basta ficcare un Herondale nella storia ed il 90% del fandom gongola felice anche se la storia poi fa effettivamente pietà, quindi nemmeno si impegna più.

"Simon tried this, realized it was futile, and grabbed the tree in a hug so intimate, he wondered if they were now dating" Way to go Simon.
Oh and two other things..

I LOVED IT!!!

OK.The scene with Jack The Ripper... CREPPYYYYYYY.

It's so good to read again about Jem, Will and Tessa, and the kids! My heart aches. I couldn´t stop smiling when I was reading.

Simon and Jace, loved it! Again.. So good to hear about Jace, and the ending with Tessa and Jace talking about the Herondale's family... PERFECTION!

About Simon and Izzy.... this give me hope.

So pumped to read the next one!!

SPOON!!! Cute little Jamie.

I've never loved Jace and Simon's relationship more than I do now.

4.5, it was awesome to read more of Tessa et al’s story. I love Cassandra Clare’s world building and storytelling. Specially with the audiobooks, it’s easy to suspend disbelief for a few hours and really live the story.
I also liked how she touched on the reality poverty and the choices some people have to make to make it day to day.

I love these little glimpses into Simon's life at the Shadowhunter Academy. I love all the little stories that come along too. All the characters in this made my day. I love seeing characters from the Infernal Devices and the Mortal Instruments in these books. I miss my Cassandra Clare books. I need more. I can't wait until the next one comes out.
