Clary is SO dumb, jace is SO annoying, and Maia deserves SO much better than Jordan OH MY GOD

The Details:
 Narrated by Grant Cartwright and Eloise Oxer
Unabridged

I think this may have been my least favourite of the series. I felt like there was too much going on and I got confused at which plot I was following.

A lot of the side characters had some povs too, so I found it difficult to keep track of everyone, despite being familiar with their voices from prior books in the series.

I know this was an important novel, building up to climax, but it was very overwhelming with the abundance of threads that were weaving together.

Even though exciting things happen the book comes off more as set up for the next book. With the gang split up there’s more POVs which I liked. The side plot with Alec though was kinda boring. All that aside this was an interesting edition to the series and I look forward to the next book.
