No but Cassie could literally write about paint drawing and I would probably eat it up.
Spoilers below:
Speaking of eating books up, this one was a thrill! I loved Castallane and the new world. The characters all had their charm and flaws, I don’t really know who to trust, but funnily enough, the criminal overlord of the ragpicker king is one I would trust.
Most Cassandra Clare fans probably expect romance, and while there’s definitely some (please let Conor and Lin get together), it’s mainly hinting towards it. I’m sensing that it will be more abundant in the next book, but it isn’t necessary for the story.
Overall, I loved this book, it was beautifully written and I’m excited for the next installment
