I wrote a review on the first book in this series (encompassing how I felt about the first and second book) so I won’t repeat it here but I want to mention how intensely frustrating the end of this novel is.
I hope the final book can tie up the Matthew-Cordelia-James love triangle up nicely because I’m am so upset with how the ending of this book played out. There are so many blatant clues that lead to simple answers about who likes who and what may really be going on but the way each character responds to those clues just frustrates me to no end.
I would rather prefer reading about the progression of Thomas and Alistair’s relationship over Cordelia and James because of how much those two characters have frustrated me.

I’m really enjoying this series. Each book’s plot resolves nicely while still adding to the larger series plot arc. I love the large cast of characters and their messy relationships. Plus, I dig a historical fantasy, so the setting really works for me. I think this is Cassandra’s Clare’s best work to date.
And that ENDING.
And that ENDING.

4.5 stars
*first read* : July 2021
*second read* : February 2023
lines that broke me :
"We have talked so much of travel. I wanted to give you the world"
"How do I live in this moment forever, and not let it go?"
"If I do go, give us a happy ending, will you? in your book?"
"You were always my secret"
"You are my constant star, Daisy"
"We become what we are afraid we will be, Layla"
"But the truth is that sorrow is fleet and loyal. It will always follow you"
But I STILL won't forgive that ending.

soy la protectora oficial de grace blackthorn y matthew fairchild
ME RE GUSTÓ EL LIBRO DIOS se convirtió en mi segundo libro fav de tsc despues de tftsa.
[relectura]
entiendo un poco pq a muchas les disgusta o les parece el libro más flojo pero es q cassandra decidió meterle todo el drama en los últimos dos capítulos y no les miento yo lo disfruté un montón. mi rating de estos libros está definitivamente sesgado y en realidad no me interesa mucho lo q pase en el plot pq sabemos q cassandra no es la mejor escribiendo plots o villanos en sí. pero estos personajes son mi vida, y con tal de leerlos a ellos ya disfruto mucho los libros, y cuando cassandra los pone en dramas de telenovela de hecho me entretiene más
