I wasn't really paying a great deal if attention to this book as I was listening to it quite honestly. I've read this one before, and therefore already knew the major plot points before they happened. For the most part there weren't really any surprises in it, except for a few scenes I'd forgotten happened.
~
I'm glad I reread it because I do like this series but ultimately I just needed to read it to be able to get on to other books in this series I haven't read yet or don't remember all that well, like The Dark Artifices series.
~
As sad as this book might be for someone reading it for the first time, I didn't really feel any kind of emotions towards the events of the book despite knowing those things are sad things to have happened. And I don't know how to feel having finished the 3rd book in the main Mortal Instruments series.

So much action! Also just when you thought you have the whole story about Jace and Clary straight, yet another plot twist shows up. Or two. I look forward to where we go from here.
