God, I'm glad I'm reviewing these novellas individually because they got different narrators for each one, and this one is not it. 

I could understand it being slim pickings if they needed a Welsh speaker, but Wil maybe spoke two words of it. 

I'm feral for any Infernal Devices content, but it felt silly to portal a warlock across the world for an hour long lecture just so it could fit in this convenient plot of Simon going to school. 

Maybe I missed something but there was a whole bit in Clockwork Angel where Tessa helped solve a murder by transforming into someone. And she had access to a body from a hot homicide case and...didn't transform into her to live out her last moments??? 

Simon jumped REAL quick from "I need to figure myself out, I can't be with you" to "I want to figure myself out, so I can be with you." Boy, have you lost your mind cause ill help you find it!
