When I first read this it was a five star (like a lot of stuff I first read was), but upon reread it is a four. I enjoy that I am getting more of the story by reading the books the way that Cassandra Clare recommends I do still have dislikes. I really enjoy the look back at different generations of Shadowhunters and a look into Magnus' relationship with Camille and kind of why he didn't like shadowhunters, other than being a warlock. 

My heart broke for Sophie when she saw Agatha killed in front of her and then learning that Thomas was also killed. I think she had feelings for Thomas, but said that she didn't because of what happened with Will.

5.0

I loved this book so much. It was mysterious, full of action and it was very suspense. The world of the shadow hunters and downworlders was very well thiught through with lots of different powers and characters from both the angel and demon side.
Tessa was a brave and courageous character, who had a very unique power where she could Change. I am really curious to find out what Tessa actually is and the rest of her powers. Her brother, Nate, unexpectedly betrayed Tessa, by conspiring with Mortmain. At this point I felt bad for Tessa as she still loved Nate even though he doesn’t anymore.
Will was an interesting character, with major mood swings. The best chapter with Will was when he fought with De Quincey. This is because it was intense and done so well I felt like I was actually there watching the fight. I really want to find out what happened to his parents and what he was talking about to Magnus Bane in the epilogue.
Jen was a sweet character who I thought we didn’t see enough of. I really hope in the next book he is in it more, so I get to find out more about Jen. I also feel really bad for him and his illness considering there is no cure and he is suffering badly.
Overall, I thought this was a great book and I highly recommend for any YA Fantasy readers.
