It was okay, it wasn't great in my opinion, I didn't like that Cassandra

make them kiss and then tell us that they are SIBLINGS, and even after that she told us that clary keep thinking him a little bit in a romantic way. And I felt like that revelation was so out of nowhere, maybe it was just me but I feel like it was just for the shock. I also felt so gross with the Magnus insinuation with Alec, like he is a grown ass men and alec is a teenager

Even after that, it wasn't so bad, I didn't got attached with any of the characters but I like the universe that she created.

It wasn't memorable but it was nice for kill time.
