i feel like everyone else read the shadowhunters series when they were teenagers and i'm just now catching up but omg what the hell was that ending. also, i hated the way that clary led simon on for the entirety of this book like we get that you like your brother and have very weird incestuous feelings for him but was it really worth it at the expense of simon's feelings. i really didn't like the way how clary was portrayed as reckless in this book but she's a teenager who feels overwhelmed by everything that happened to her so i get it. also, does the ending now mean that jocelyn is going to wake up in the third book, i hope so. also, i'm holding out hope for clary's character development because she needs it baddd both as a shadowhunter and as a regular human being.
