Me gusto más este libro, teniendo en cuenta solo los libros de Clary y Jace pero igual es good but that's it.

Supongo que me hubiera gustado mas si lo hubiera leído de chiquita pero que se puede hacer.

Eso sí, me gustaron mucho más los personajes-menos Clary- así que puntos por eso. Simon es tan tierno que no pude evitar quererlo, es el que se sacrifica siempre.

But yes. Let's go for the next one!

The ending redeems this book because god it was slow to get moving.
Not as bad as book #4 but very very slow and very painful to read at times due to how little action there was. Really wish Clare had kept the same fast action-packed formula from the first 3 books cause that's what made them really stand out.
I've also noticed, reading these the second time around a lot older, that I don't find Jace and Clary's relationship as endearing. The whole you're my other half shtick seems so suffocating and realistically is a very unhealthy relationship dynamic to have.
Despite this, there are some wonderful bits in here, especially with regards to characters that have previously been overlooked.

I started this book in February... FEBRUARY!! And finished in July. And how - I hear you ask - did you manage to take such an astronomically long time to read a book? The answer: school. I really do hate it sometimes.
Anyway, back to the book. It was brilliant. When I finally moved on from being on page 12 for 6 months, I could not put it down. It was gripping, and I'm straight onto the next.
Also, I am still convinced that Cassandra Clare puts some sort of drug in her books.

Oh the characters are just getting so annoying at this point.
