I adored this book and I felt like Cassandra Clare had me feeling all the right things at the right time with minimal words. The ability to do that takes a great author.
One of my favourite parts of this book and all the others I’m sure is the humour underlining the storyline. Haves cocky sarcastic wit has me LOLing every time. Magnus’ indifferent attitude about everything was spot on.
Overall this book did well not to get stuck in that middle book ‘nothing really happens’ stigma. I only say this because I know it was originally only meant to be a trilogy.
Not my favourite book, but still very much enjoyed and cherished.
I’ve been all things shadowhunters lately and I couldn’t ask for a better book to take to work with me and read whenever possible. Would defiantly recommend.

Slow at the beginning, but it picked up towards the end leaving you wanting more.

I just re read this book for the fifth time in a row! The author keeps you up all night in suspense, pulling you in just at the moment when you were falling asleep. This is a must read for any fantasy lover!

Aquesta segona part és, en la meva opinió, molt millor que la segona. La primera no em va convèncer quasi gents (3/5), però sabia que l'havia de llegir si volia entrar en el món dels caçadors d'ombres, però no em va deixar amb ganes de continuar, així que vaig decidir mirar la sèrie sense importar-me tots els spoilers que em menjaria. Aquesta va ser una gran decisió, perquè un cop vaig acabar-la, vaig veure que tenia ganes de més i que per satisfer aquestes ganes només podia anar a la biblioteca i agafar la segona part, que m'he llegit en tres dies perquè m'ha mantingut súper enganxada.
Els personatges principals segueixen sense caure'm bé (la Clary especialment, començo a tolerar en Jace, menys quan està amb la Clary, òbviament) i crec que la història podria funcionar sense ells. També he vist que els personatges masculins són molt forts (quant a caràcter i força física), mentre que els femenins, també ho són, però mai tan com els masculins i això fa que al seu costat semblin dèbils (en especial la Clary i l'Isabelle).
Espero que en el tercer llibre els personatges secundaris (Alec, Magnus, Isabelle, etc.) tinguin més escenes.

3.5 stars.
I definitely enjoyed it, though the writing doesn't feel all that strong in certain areas, and good god some of the characters are dense. Regardless, it's action packed, funny in places, easy to read, and I shall be picking up book 3 soon!
