between 4 and 4.5 stars
I don't even know where to start with this review. I'm going to keep this quite short since I do plan on filming a booktalk for my booktube channel
edit:
my booktalk is up on my Youtube channel. part 1: https://youtu.be/OBFxg0aznsU & part 2: https://youtu.be/Y7oKbcw9jic
some general thoughts:
I found the plot of the book quite intriguing but a bit slow at times. Fortunately I didn't mind this as much because I did enjoy the characters and their interactions a lot.
I really liked most of the characters. Some of them (Julian, Mark) I absolutely loved. And even the ones I didn't quite like in the beginning (Cristina) I warmed up to by the end of the book.
As for ships: I AM SO CONFLICTED. I basically ship everything and everyone.
There were quite a few plot twists in this, that I did not expect at all. A lot of other things were predictable - but being a reader of Cassies's books for several years now, you get the jist of her stories and characters; there is a certain pattern she follows with most things.
As for a certain scene in about the middle of the book or a bit after, I don't quite remember, I am incredibly annoyed and angered about that one scene. With Julian and Emma. If you've read the book you'll probably know what scene I mean. I will discuss it further in my booktalk before I start ranting about it here. But I will say I didn't like it at all and I even had to stop reading after that because I was so angry.
I think that's all I have to say for now.

Ok this new generation of Shadowhunters is amazing.
I loved seeing old characters and seeing a different path of the new generation.
But fucking hell the ending made me jump out of my bed and almost screaming "BITCHHHH" at 1:30am.
As usually, Cassandra Clare does amazing things

I don't care if she's writing this series to squeeze money out of my pockets! She can have it! Anything Clare writes about the Shadowhunter world I will happily read...as long as there is a Jace or Will! Love the Herondale's!!
