OMG such a good book!!!!!!!!!
This book was just the perfect start for the new phase of the Shadow Hunter world, reading how the new generation is little by little building they're way up was amazing.
Even though this book wasn't fill with the dose of action we're used to from previous Cassie's books, the battle scenes with memorable. I really appreciate the fact that Cassandra made the Clockwork Angel's move and focus more on giving a proper introduction for the characters and the place they were at after the events of City of Heavenly Fire. The Character development was on point and I'm eternally in love with the Blackthorn children.
I'm not gonna lie, I really REALLY missed the original squad so badddddd, but the characters are so fascinating that you didn't feel the void at all.
Definitely a most read ASAP!
Can't wait to see what Lord of Shadows got for me. (Since the end of this book murdered my soul.... WHY CASSIE WHYYYYYY?!)

Once again, I really enjoyed this book. As per usual, I think that the first books in Cassandra Clare's series are the weakest, but the character work is amazing. I already love the Blackthorns and Emma. I cannot wait to see where we go from here.
I cannot say much about this book, because it spoils all the 115160 other Shadowhunter novels before it. Just know that these books are a lot of fun.

Lo disfruté muchísimo y me gustó, pero siento que no pasó gran cosa en la primera mitad del libro.

The thing at the end? I will recover.
The thing about Mark? Hahahahaha NO. NOT EVER.
So I went to the gym yesterday wanting to be athletic and fit just like Emma, Cristina and Julian. I worked out and now I could barely stand. My legs hurt, my arms hurt, my stomach hurts. Everything hurts. It's probably the biggest mistake of my life.
I'm one of the very few people who read all of Cassandra Clare's books starting from TID, TMI, Shadowhunter Tales, Codex, Illustrations (name it, I have it!) I honestly thought that she was one of the best authors there is until I read books better than hers and I now realized that her writing style wasn't that good after all. It was tedious at times, the characters are too much of this and too much of that but that didn't prevent me from reading her newly published books.
I waited for almost eight months before reading this novel mainly because I was afraid of being stranded with a huge book that I couldn't finish. But hell boy! A lot of good things happened in this book;
1. Cassandra Clare's writing style improved immensely.
2. The characters were so lovable! Not too good nor too bad. Not too perfect nor too flawed.
3. Stories from the Tales of Shadowhunters were vaguely mentioned but they were there, if you know where to search.
4. The characters strived for the skills that they have. (unlike some *ehem* Jace *ehem* Clary who were born with it)
5. The plotwists were so gooooood! Especially that thing about Mark. Hahaha I'll never get over with that I swear.
Everyone's making a fuzz about Emma and Julian but I seriously love Cristina more. Her calm, her grace, her strength. I love everything about her! I love her more than Emma (peace) So it wasn't a shocker that I was more upset to the fact that my ship MARTINA just sunk into oblivion (I hope that it's salvageable though) than to the LQ that happened at the end of this book.
The ending hurts a bit but I'll live.
#MARTINA all the way!!!
PS: I will never ever go to the gym again. The ideas this book puts into my mind. Urggh!

I'll be honest it's a bit of a struggle to get through this series as times. There were new characters introduced in this book. I liked some of them, and others I'm indifferent towards. The plot was predictable and I found the writing style to be a little annoying at times.

Después de dos años esperando este libro por fin llego a nuestra vida, y creo que la espera ha merecido la pena
Primero, el libro ha sido para mi una gran sorpresa, porque a pesar de que si que tenía expectativas para el libro no pensaba que sería tan tan bueno. De verdad, Cassandra Clare lo ha vuelto hacer cuando muchos pensaban que no iba a volver a sacar un libro del mundo de cazadores de sombras bueno.
Me he enamorado de los personajes a un nivel que de verdad no me imaginaba para nada que pasaría y es que creo que de verdad mi amor por estos personajes es mayor que nunca ademas de porque me considero de la familia blackthorn lo que es precioso
EMPEZAMOS LA ZONA DE SPOILERS
De verdad que los personajes, los ships y todo han sido una gran ayuda para que la novela sea un gran exito y la vuelta de algunos personajes antiguos también nos hace sentir muchisimos feelings y entusiasmo por volver a verles de nuevo.
Después de este libro solo puedo decir que no se si podré volver a esperar 2 años para seguir la historia pero que de verdad tengo unas ganas enormes de leer como se desarrolla la historia
Este libro es un claro 10/10 y unas grandes 5 estrellas

EMPEZAMOS LA ZONA DE SPOILERS
Spoiler
La primera cosa que de verdad me sorprendió fue lo de que Clary y Jace sean los que dirijan el instituto de NY, de verdad que fue precioso ver como los personajes con los que había crecido conseguían algo tan importante. Despues esta lo de Mark, nadie, y creo que afirmo por mucha gente, se esperaba que Mark tuviese un lio con Kieran, de verdad ¿como alguien podría saberlo? Mi cara al enterarme de verdad que era de sorpresa total. Ya despues de esto pasamos a lo que es EL SPOILER DE VERDAD ¿quien iba a imaginar que Malcolm fuese el malo de la situación, es decir, un hombre que es amigo de Magnus y que en un principio hasta se iba a comer pizza con los Blackthorn iba a ser el asesino de los padres de Emma y de las demas muertes de LA; no se si le perdonaré que casi mata a Tavvy porque es como demasiado adorable ese niño y de verdad me doleria muchisimo si le hubiese pasado algo. Ya centrandonos en el final Cassandra Clare cree que es mejor matarnos de feels metiendonos primero a Clary, Magnus y Jace, y justo despues a Jem y Tessa, mi corazon no aguntaba, es que son mis niños y verlos de nuevo me mata de amor lentamente. Durante la visita de estos personajes descubrimos quienes eran la famosa pareja que anuncio Cassie que se casarian y no son otros que... IZZY Y SIMMON, si Sizzy se casa y por ello todos deberíamos estan fangirlando como posesos. Otra cosa que me dejo con la boca abierta fue cuando un tal Christopher Herondale es traido por Tessa ¿un herondale? pues eso, imaginaos mi cara, me puse a fangirlear como una loca porque gracias a Raziel había mas Herondales, espero de verdad que en el siguiente libro la historia de este personaje se haga mas interesante. Y finalmente, la supuesta ruptura de Emma y Jules, a ver todos sabíamos que tenía que pasar incluso si los shippeabas a muerte como yo, pero de verdad que no esperaba que Emma fuese a Mark a pedirle que mentir a Jules. FLIPANTEDe verdad que los personajes, los ships y todo han sido una gran ayuda para que la novela sea un gran exito y la vuelta de algunos personajes antiguos también nos hace sentir muchisimos feelings y entusiasmo por volver a verles de nuevo.

Probably my favourite Cassandra Clare book beside the short story collections. I absolutely loved the story and didn’t see the ending coming until it was revealed. The characters were well developed and I loved the family dynamics as well.

I love the characters, especially Ty, Christina and Julian. I am really looking forward to know more about Kieran, too. The relationships in the book are great.
Now spoilers:
Why don't they say the reason parabatai can't fall in love in the Clave?? Kinda stupid. Also Emma not talking to Julian about it, uggggghhhh. And Emma using Mark to make Julian hate ehr or sth?? I hope that doesn't stay too long in the next book or I'm gonna give a low rating.
