I would have given this book 4 stars due to the last few chapters which were extremely intense and pretty awesome. But majority of the book was slow and quite anti-climactic. There was no plot for the first half of the book, and Camille was in it a lot and it turned out to be not very cantered around her at the end, which I would have expected instead of Lilith suddenly entering after virtually no reference to her at all. 
The last chapters were super intense. The battle and everything with Sebastian. I can’t believe he’s back again and now properly controlling Jace as well which is super sad.
Simons character development was pretty good, he learns more about being a vampire and on his way to accepting it. I was upset when he bit Maureen but I guess I was expecting something like that to happen soon. What I wasn’t expecting was the she would come back as a vampire and then she just left so I hope in the next book we can see what has actually happened to her. I did not like the fact that Simon was dating Maia and Isabelle, like just go out with Izzy they were super cute together.
Jordan and Maia would make a super cute couple I loved that Maia is slowly becoming more accepting of Jordan. They would be super cute.
I love Magnus and Alec, they need more time together in the books !!!
Jace and Clary as always had a very rocky relationship throughout the book, but when they did get on I loved their dynamic.
Overall it was pretty good but thought it could have been executed better especially the first half of the book.
Also I loved the fact that Will Herondale was mentioned!!!
