To be honest, I’m a bit insecure about how I wish to rate this book. Did I like it? Yeah, it’s an easy book to read. Is it worth five stars? Nope. 

Although I did enjoy the journey, all the characters felt a bit boring. I understand that this is partially because the only Shadowhunters content I’ve received comes from the movie and the Netflix series (which is disappointing as hell, I know), but I must point out that the lack of character depth is -for a good part- the book’s fault.

NEVERTHELESS this book inspired me to read the other books in the Shadowhunter Universe which I think is great.

Pardon this half-assed review, I’m sleepy.
