I'll be honest it's a bit of a struggle to get through this series as times. There were new characters introduced in this book. I liked some of them, and others I'm indifferent towards. The plot was predictable and I found the writing style to be a little annoying at times.

i adore them as a friendship group, and as individual characters. i can confidently say that each one of them has gorgeous character development - emma's grief, julian's struggles as a single mother to his 4 younger siblings, christina confronting her past and settling into her future at the LA institute, mark coming to terms with his heritage/identity - even though lady midnight is the first book in the dark artifices trilogy ! there is no doubt in my mind that cassandra clare will expand upon the pieces of art that she has created here.
