Welcome to Shadowhunter Academy by Sarah Rees Brennan, Cassandra Clare

What a great opening story!
I already know that this is going to be better than The Bane Chronicles! I was so worried about this book after reading that cringe-fest. Magnus was almost ruined for me so I was worried that my love for Simon would diminish too. But alas, there is nothing to worry about because it's already off to a great start!
Regardless of what Simon thinks - whether he thinks he's a hero or not - Simon is still Simon with his wonderful sense of humor and logical, yet comedic thoughts.
When Simon lost his memory in City of Heavenly Fire, I literally cried and I NEVER cry! It made me so sad, especially because he wouldn't remember his best friend, Clary, or Isabelle! Though, he's starting to get bits and pieces back, I feel bad for his friends and girlfriend. It's hard on them too.
The ending to this short story proves that. Simon pushed away Isabelle to try to save her feelings, which is very Simon-like, but we all know that it hurt Isabelle more.
I'm already fond of George, which I know is a problem because, after reading the short story at the end of Lady Midnight, A Long Conversation, I know something bad happens to George. Nothing has happened yet but I'm already sad about it!
Also, I love that Simon was given Shadowhunter gear that was meant for a girl lol!
