rating: very good ⭐⭐⭐⭐
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 :)

I'm not always a fan of Clare's work for some reason, but this one was a fun read. I haven't read all of this series, but I knew enough from reading the Mortal Instruments books to follow along. The action and characterization news fun and held my interest, and the cocky dialogue never disappointed.

📘The Gist 📘: All Alec and Magnus want is to have a romantic vacation in Europe. Those plans are threatened when Magnus is ordered to deal with a demon warshiping cult that claims he is their founder.
