This book was such a win for the gays! I don’t know why it took me so long to get into The Eldest Curses, but it was incredibly emotional to read into so much adorable, domestic malec content and hilarious cameos from other beloved tsc characters. It aims to tell the story of Alec and Magnus’ before all the drama and traverses through things that happened in between TMI (if you know, you know). Reading this made me feel only a fraction of what I felt reading shadowhunters for the first time, so this was a nostalgic read that hits bullseye to a reader’s heart. This book was able to give me an adventurous, hilarious story with queer characters accompanied by a form of nostalgia and lingering sadness that’s always going to be there when I read those familiar names.

I may be biased in rating this so high, but I do not take the matter of my comfort characters lightly, so sue me I guess.
