The cliffhanger!!!! So much angst! All I know is I want everyone to be happy and no one to die, is that too much to ask?

Ughh the ending. I need to read the next book now but it doesn’t come out for another 6 months 😭 
I love these characters. They’re so sweet and funny and supportive of each other. 
The slowburn, will they won’t they, between James & Daisy was almost painful but they were still so sweet together. 
Can’t wait for the last book in the series.

Wow this was long. I quite literally take back everything I said in my review of Chain of Gold (except for the Matthew bit I still love him). The writing was as good as ever and the characters were really solid and were easily the best part of the book I also really liked learning more about Grace and her background; she deserved better.

However:
I take back everything I said about James Herondale , he is the most exceptionally boring and frustrating characters in the shadowhunter chronicles. Apart from that... literally nothing happened in this book. absolutely nothing. also it was SO slow.
