will herondale, i will always love you.

my first time rereading tid in over a decade and wow! what an adventure. i’m ashamed to admit i’ve forgotten nearly everything that doesn’t deal with herongraystairs, but that’s the magic of revisiting a series years later. the twist is kind of laughably predictable but at least the build up is there. i didn’t appreciate the lore rehash in the past, but boy did it come in handy this time around. i love the characters, and i’m eager to revisit them again and see how everything pans out.

Set in 1878, Tessa Gray travels to London in search of her missing brother. When she gets there she finds not all is what it seems and is dragged into the world of demons, magic, and the supernatural. When she meets two Shadowhunter boys, Will & Jem, she starts to realize she might have more to do with this world than she thought.

As the first book in The Infernal Devices trilogy, this was my next read in my Shadowhunters journey! I was a little nervous at first because I don't usually like a lot of historical fiction, but I should have known that the Shadowhunters would reel me in nonetheless. I immediately felt like I knew and liked the characters for the most part. It's probably because they felt like a one-to-one comparison to Clary, Jace, Alec, and Izzy from The Mortal Instruments. That is more than okay with me, however, especially getting into the first book of a trilogy. I thought that the villain/threat of this book was pretty interesting and a bit of a departure for the Shadowhunter world. I'm here for this love triangle as per usual, and am excited to see where it goes. Tessa has great chemistry with both of these boys, though obviously, I have a favorite. I struggled with Will's personality and actions throughout the book, but it's obvious that this is set up for a series arc so we shall see how he progresses.

Maybe this is minutia that only I care about, but I will never not be amused by how Cassandra Clare names things in these books. While she doesn't mention my favorite name, "Jonathan Shadowhunter", in this book, that does not stop her in other respects! Henry, the inventor of the group, creates a tool to sense demonic energy and says something along the lines of "I've created this tool to sense demonic energy. I shall call it a Sensor". It is always silly and I always love it.

I'm really enjoying everything about this series and am excited to continue.

Sooo good! I loved all the callbacks to the Mortal Instruments series, and I loved being immersed in the world of the Shadowhunters again. Tessa’s story is so interesting and exciting in and of itself though, and I loved the new characters and different storylines. Very intriguing and so many good twists and turns!
