personal enjoyment rating: exceptional ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
the plot twist was a bit obvious, but I still appreciated this story so much.
it was structured a bit differently than other shadowhunters novels which was a nice refreshing touch: it's a queer traveling adventure about trying to solve a mystery that also ties in the stuff already known about the universe and sets up its own story arc focused around Magnus' legacy
I enjoyed this book a lot :)
