I thought it was great for them to go to Idris. I loved how the city was described and I was super glad that the whole book was set there.
When Clary and Luke got to Alicante I was surprised that he had a sister, Amatis, since she had never been mentioned before. She was an excellent character, being like a mother figure to Clary and always trying to stand up for her and to keep her out of trouble. I hope we get to see more of her in the next books!
I can’t say that I am surprised that Simon got locked up in the Gard but I was surprised with the fact that he didn’t want to get rescued. He was definitely more mature in this book which I preferred to him being an annoying, geeky boy.
Also I was surprised that Samuel was actually Hodge! I was not expecting that at all.
Clary and Jaces relationship at the beginning was definitely awkward and rocky, but I liked that they teamed up to get the book for Magnus from Jaces childhood home. I thought that it was really clever to have the book inside a cooking book and I was shocked when they discovered Ithuriel in the cellar!
When the demons came into Alicante I was shook. So many shadowhunters had gotten killed, including little Max which was super upsetting.
Sebastian (Jonathon) was a walking red flag from the beginning, how they did not know he was dodgy is beyond me.
When Clary made the alliance rune I thought it was really really cool and the fact that the Clave finally let downworlders have a seat on the Clave was extraordinary.
The way Sebastian handled Jace in the cave was actually brutal. He was sooo cruel no wonder he has demon blood in him.
I was glad that Jace and Clary were able to discover they weren’t siblings, so they can finally be together:)
I was actually shocked when Jace got killed. I was like ‘how are these last three books going to be good without Jace’ but of course Clary came to the rescue. She spoke to Raziel and was able to bring Jace back from the dead which was phenomenal.
I really don’t believe that Sebastian is dead, he is definitely going to appear again !
