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 :)

3.0

I didn’t write a review for this after reading it so I have no idea why I gave it 3 stars. I love Malec though.
