In love with this read. So much to unpack. Lots of notes taken as the multiple characters interact. Try to find a murderer, lots of secrets among friends, and young love.

I found this book to be incredibly frustrating. I loved The Infernal Devices, and even though book 1 in The Last Hours felt like a messy and convoluted start to the series, I liked the characters enough to continue.

However, I was so annoyed with the end of this book that I ended up skimming the last chapter. I'm not a huge fan of miscommunication tropes, and this was almost 700 pages of that. Up until the end, I was leaning towards 4 stars: I love the relationship between James and Cordelia. And Alastair and Thomas had me in my feels. But there wasn't enough plot to make up for how long this book was, and the ending felt like a lazy plot device meant to push Cordelia and Matthew together.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be continuing with this series or the Shadow Hunter universe. (But I will hold The Infernal Devices as one of my favourite series of all time.)
