The Details:
Narrated by Natalie Moore
Unabridged
I really enjoyed seeing the magical world of Idris. I think being in this world and seeing the different culture there created even more enjoyment and helped to make this one of my favourite reads of the series so far.
So many pivotal points happened in the 3rd installment - I wonder if it was originally a series of trilogies because this felt like a really satisfying conclusion.
The family dynamics got so much more messy and complex, I was constantly shocked by all the reveals - it was fantastic!
Simon flourished in this book. I can see great things for him in the future and I really want to see him succeed.
I loved seeing the dynamic between the nephilim and the downworlders adapt throughout this story. It wasn't a simple fix, but took time, had conspiracies and duplicity and was a great use of plot development.
Can't wait to read book 4.
I also felt bad again for my bestie Simon. He's always being used - Isabelle using him as a distraction for her grief over the death of her little brother... but I mean hey at least she said that's what it is straight away.

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.
