Mark was so pure and it made my heart hurt. Again, I didn't really care about Simon's story, just the Blackthorns'. They deserved better.

Cada vez me gustan más, aunque solo me quedan tres. Simon es un personaje muy bonito y cada vez le quiero más, ay.

No estoy llorando... Solo se me metió una espina en mi ojo...
¿Entienden? Espina = thorne... Blackthorne
*suspira*
Ya han pasado algunos meses desde que Simon regreso a la Academia y las cosas están empezando a ser más cómodas, cosa que no siempre es bueno.
En una misión cuyo objetivo es capturar a un hada, Simon es llevado a la tierra de las hadas donde se encuentra con Mark Blackthorne, gemelo de Helen y el mayor de los hermanos Blackthorne.
No es solo el encuentro con Mark sino las reacciones de este último, el deseo de saber sobre su familia y los sentimientos que tiene Simon al respecto.
Finalmente Simon cae en cuenta que ha estado viviendo muy cómodamente entre sus compañeros de la Academia, ignorando sus comentarios sobre los Submundos y los Mundanos (Simon ha sido ambos... Todavía es mundano pero ese no es el punto) y escuchando como la Clave y los Cazadores de Sombras son perfectos.
Pero Simon no quiere ser perfecto. El no quiere ser un cazador de sombras si va a ser uno como los padres de sus amigos, o los padres de sus padres. Porque la Clave no es justa, al diablo con La Ley es dura, pero es la Ley (esa es mi opinión) y la Clave odia lo que es diferente.
Simon propone que él y sus compañeros sean mejores.
Y si, todo eso esta bien. Tiene toda la razón y hubiera estado totalmente de acuerdo. Cassandra, no tenias que meter a los niños Blackthorne, especialmente a Jules, en el cuadro para que yo estuviera de acuerdo. Estuvo de más jugar con mis feels.
Aww, Jules. Mi dulce y perfecto cinnamon roll demasiado perfecto para este mundo. Los pensamientos y sentimientos de Simon no solo hacia Jules y hacia el resto de los Blackthorne en serio me empañaron los ojos.
Cada vez vemos mas detalles atando la historia a TDA y Lady Midnight. Y el siguiente relato de verdad que me emociona.

I'm having the slight feeling that Mark Blackthorne will be one of my favourite charakters in the dark artifices series, since I already love him now and he just seems soooooo overly interesting, I can't wait for Lady Midnight.

I really loved this installment to the series. While there was not as much going on as in the previous novella, I really enjoyed this, and I ended up flying through it. I was so excited that we got to see Mark and even Kieran. While I ship Mark and Cristina in Lady Midnight, I also think Mark and Kieran are freaking cute together, and I ship them a lot as well. But back to Mark, this was years before Lady Midnight, so he has not changed quite as much as he has in Lady Midnight. He still has faith in Shadowhunters. He really believes in everyone. He is worried about his siblings. He is very much still a Shadowhunter, which was interesting to see.

I also loved seeing Simon and Izzy because they are my favorite. They are literally the cutest couple in existence, and if my smile had gotten any larger when reading this particular portion of the book, my face might have broken. It just made me so happy to see their playful banter, and it was just everything I wanted. And then the last part of the book just made me super happy, and I am not going to say anything about it because it was really cute, and I am not spoiling anything. But it was beautiful and cute and really allowed us to see Julian before he had gone so far downhill, as we come to see in Lady Midnight going into Lord of Shadows.
But overall, this was a solid installment to the series, and I am so excited to continue on with the rest of the novella series. I honestly think every novella just keeps getting better and better, and I am just flying through these. The rest of these are going to be so much fun...

Oh my heart, oh my Mark. It's safe to say I maybe, possibly a tad, shed a tear or 5 trillion....

I wasn't ready for this.
Everytime Sarah Rees Breenan is involved in one of these I end up a sobbing mess. And this time it wasn't even sobbing. It was a hysterical crying because life is not fair and good people should have bad lifes.
So thanks for that Cassie & Sarah!
That being said, I do ffeel like this is the book where character development is shown the most. We see Simon react in a way we hadn't seen before, we see him taking responsability, and still staying true to himself.
I do think this is one of the best ones so far.
Quote: "“Fortunate is the one who knows the name of their heart. They are the ones whose hearts are never truly lost. They can always call their heart back home,” He said, his voice almost a chant. “Do you remember the name of your heart, Simon Lewis?”
