This one doesn't even have the "Big bad got defeated but everyone's unhappy anyway." pattern. It's just sadness all around and I hate that this is a norm in this whole series.

A diferencia de Lady Midnight este libro me pareció bastante más crudo y desolador, me gusta que los personajes, especialmente Julian, se manejen en una moralidad gris casi todo el tiempo y nos terminemos cuestionando nuestra propia moral.

No me termina de cerrar la historia de Diana (i mean, entiendo y apoyo la representación LGBT but seriously? Lo sentí un poco forzado). Y banco mucho mucho la relación Cristina-Kieran-Mark, si no terminan juntos me lastimo (no es literal, es un decir)

En otro tema: Leo todo lo de Cassandra Clare porque me gustan mucho sus historias y personajes, su habilidad de crear mundos increíbles que podrían existir, pero que jamás nos enteraríamos pues somos simples mundanos (el universo del Downworld y los Shadowhunters es mi favorito del mundo ficción), pero (y es un gran pero) su obsesión con el incesto me preocupa mucho.

I don't even have words. This book was a ROLLERCOASTER of emotions. And for anyone wondering, I was not okay and I definitely threw my book across my couch at the end 😅
I am very glad I have the next book and can jump in right away. No idea how everyone waited when they were being released...

There are hate comments directed to Downworlders and "racism" against them.
