Literally so amazing and I didn't even have any fear. But if course. I am so blinded and shocked with the fact that George is dead. I never thought he wouldn't make it and I am so devastated. The only good is that he gets to be in London with Jessamine. Literally. Oh my - May 20 2017

Rating: 3.5/5

This short story was quite slowly paced so I was bored at times. However, everyone showed up for Simon and I liked that.
George's death was very sad. Classic Lovelace ending. I loved that Simon took on the Lovelace name for George though.

That was sad and a little unsatisfying - like I wished we could of seen a little bit more at the end, about Simons new life as a Shadowhunter. My favourite bit, to be honest, was when Jessamine and George where together and Simon decided on Lovelace for his Shadowhunter name <3

Tales from shadowhunter academy always had the feeling of fanfiction for me,
I mean in any other series, they would make the perfect fanfiction material, daring people to tell the tales left unsaid. Of course this doesn't happen in Shadowhunter's world, because there nothing is ever left unsaid by the author.
Calm down, I'm not Clare-bashing. I actually have a point.

So you see, in a fanfiction, sure there is angst but you hardly ever expect a beloved character to just die, usually people just aren't ruthless enough to that. That's reason number one I didn't expect this ending.

Reason number two would be that this was written by Cassandra Clare and she is extremely kind to her characters. Sure, the end of TID had me crying my eyes out, but it didn't take away from the fact that basically it was the happiest ending possible. The end of TMI was kind of sickeningly sweet, Perfect happily ever after.
That's reason number two I didn't expect this ending.

I did read the synopsis, yes. You know what I took away from that? That the old Simon would die and the new Simon would be reborn.
I was just blindsided. I did not see the ending of this coming until the last second.
It hit me hard.

Damn you Cassandra!!!!!

¡¿Cómo te atreves a hacerme esto?!

No no no no no no...

Lo sabía. No se, empece el relato y algo en mi interior me decía que esto iba a pasar pero lo ignoré. Ugh.

No dire nada. No voy a spoilear a nadie.

Cassandra Clare tiene una facilidad para hacerme terminar sus series en lágrimas.

Para aquellos Sizzy shippers, este es su relato... La primera mitad.

La otra mitad los dejará en un pozo oscuro lleno de amargura, tristeza y lágrimas.

I loved this novella series! I'm in love with the characters more than ever... But why?! Why does it have to end like this?!!! Simon chose his last name... And it's so emotional.
I just wish it ended more happily...
