Although not much happened in this novella, I really enjoyed all of the Sizzy scenes. ❤️ Also, learning more about Helen Blackthorn's backstory was really interesting. All of the faerie stuff made me really excited to read Lady Midnight!

“This is how a faerie loves: with her whole body and soul. This is how a faerie loves: with destruction.”
I feel so bad for Helen . shadow hunters can be so cruel sometimes . Also the real story about Helen's father and the fairy Lady he loved was so good . I really did not expect that . That's really heartbreaking ... Everybody should learn the real story starting with Helen and her dead father .

Si no me equivoco es la más corta de las historias de Simon por ahora pero pasan muchas cosas.
Primero la historia de Helen, increíblemente triste. No entendí su castigo en CoHF y sigo si entender el trato que recibe ahora. Suerte que está Simon para decir lo que pienso.
Segundo, la historia del final me ha dejado KO. No lo veía venir.
Y por último, SIZZY SIZZY SIZZY SIZZY!!! EVERYWHERE!

I LOVED THIS. This is among my Top 3 so far. I loved the Simon and Izzy in this, finally they are past the horribly frustrating phase of not getting it together, I'm so happy. Helen was also great in this, and I found her back story very interesting. Overall 4.3 stars.

I really liked this story !
The Sizzy was so cute, but I mostly loved the Faerie story. The way they talk about discriminating the faes, seeing a threat in all of them while only a few of them betrayed the Shadowhunters in the was : kinda reminds us of the world right now, doesn't it ?
And it's very important, because it has happened so many times in history, bc fear and hatred can only lead to bigger hatred, to hadred for a whole community - or spieces in this case (now with terrorism, after WWI btw France and Germany, WWII,...)
I also loved the last chapter (spoiler) where we see what really happened btw Helen's parents, with the faerie's PoV. It was a wonderful addition to this story, bc she was portrayed as evil, as an example of the fair folk's attitude towards ppl but it turned out to be wrong. Everything they believe is wrong, as it often is IRL.
So yes, I loved this story, mostly bc of the political connotation of it and what it means for our time in history.

I'm never a big fan of faeries in books but I loved the Sizzy moments in this one.

"I love you,she told him,night after night, for seven years. Faeries cannot lie,and he knew that.
