I do have to admit, I wasn’t so sold on loving this series (or, this novel in particular). Many of my friends who have also read TID and TMI share the sentiment that this series is fine, but it certainly doesn’t rank as high as the first two series.
I suppose, to an extent, I agree. I found Emma’s character a bit unlikable, especially in the beginning, too impulsive and thoughtless; and Julian was.. Well…. But by the end of the novel, I was quite fully invested in all the characters, regardless of the way I felt about them when I was introduced. They’re lovable in a way, and I don’t hold them in such close regards as the previous series’ characters.
Still, Clare’s continuation of the Shadowhunters universe is so welcome. It’s amazing how she ties in stories across series and timelines, and I’m very excited to start on the second book of this series!
This book is fast paced, and I definitely think its length might put some people off, especially with the last two books of the trilogy only being longer, but.. The story did fly by pretty quickly for me. Overall a good read.
