officially the biggest book ive ever read. omg i love these characters and this fictional world sm. im absolutely blown away by this story arc especially the forbidden love trope i thought that was done so well, also christina/mark/kieran wasnt something i expected to enjoy as much as i did. so much of this story broke my heart im still recovering i swear. and the action was so good
however in my soul i am nothing if not malec's number 1 fan and so that proposal/wedding scene was my highlight. they are so special to me always, and always will be what helped me through a really turbulent time in my life when i was younger so i think that attachment wont ever go away
also the cliffhanger??

So I had this book forever, really, since it was published, 'cause I spent my highschool years being obsessed with Shadowhunters. But at the time I didn't end up reading it, I felt I was not longer vibing with Clare's writing and I am terrified of long books. But lately I had been wanting to read her latest series, The Last Hours, so obviously I had to finally read QoAaD, and I'm glad I did. Emma has since been my favorite Shadowhunter protagonist ever since she was introduced, she's fierce, she's independent but she feels so much emotion and empathy, and Julian... Surpassing the Herondales as my favorite boys is a feat I didn't think anyone would ever do, but he did. And the side characters are amazing, Mark, Cristina and Kieran (whose development along the series I just love, he has grown so much), the little Blackthorns (who I desperately need more about) and obviously our well known Clary and Jace.
There's just something about the way Cassie Clare writes that just entraps you. I declare myself fully back on the Shadowhunter train

So much happens in this book it really could’ve been 2. However the non stop action and high stakes was enjoyable and the ending was great. That epilogue though was a surprise.
