There are no words for how amazing this series is. It is in my top 3 best books/series ever, and believe me, I have read a LOT. It is by FAR Cassandra's best, and the setting and characters are the best I have ever read. Tessa, Will, and Jem are the BEST love triangle with a very satisfying (although sad) conclusion (for lack of a better word). Cassandra really makes you fall in love with the world, which is uniquely set in the 1800s, and the brave, funny, and loving cast of characters. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat, and make you cry, cheer, laugh, and scream fearfully all in one chapter. If you are looking for a YA book to read, YOU HAVE TO READ THIS!

I really enjoyed this book but I probably wouldn’t reread it, hence why it doesn’t get 5 stars. It was a little predictable and YA felt like Percy Jackson writing level but I did have a fun time reading it, if anything for the blossoming love triangle before my eyes bc I love love triangles. Little Jemmmm I love him so much already but then I do love Will and his hard exterior , besides that the plot was pretty good and while I did start to suspect things before the characters I was still surprised a little bit at some things, or rather I’m still not trustworthy if everything. I can see the potential this series has especially with Tessa and her power so I’m excited

I gave this book a 3.5/5, the reason being I found it very similar to the Mortal Instruments and if I wasn't familiar with Cassandra Clare's writing, I wouldn't have bought the second book immediately.
