Unbelievably amazing. Phew!
Last books that had me hooked like this: The Heir Series.

The drama continues but this story is actually pretty engaging. There is a major battle that has been brewing throughout the other books that is finally realized in this book. Alliances are made and broken which help to add to the intrigue of this book.

J'ai trouvé le début beaucoup trop long et ennuyant. Le personnage de Clary est juste insupportable et elle est toujours mais au début j'avais juste envie de l'étriper. Puis après la deuxième et la troisième partie une histoire commun vraiment bien beaucoup plus intéressant. J'aime le fait qu'on va un peu plus sinon et en plus son point de vue et son évolution devient intéressante. J'aurais cependant aimé avoir plus de développement sur la relation entre Alec et Magnus. ( ce sont toujours mes chouchou et il ya une scène mais

 I am really enjoying this series so far. I love the fact that seeing as I've already watched the TV show, I kind of know where everything is going. It's like having the inside scoop 😂. We carry on with the fight against Valentine, him being the main villain in the these 3 books but we also get introduced to Sebastian!! And I really love this because I think Sebastian is the epitome of an amazing villain (well, we will have to see if that stays the same in the books).

I am happy that the very excruciating tension between Clary and Jace finally gets resolved in this book because I'm not sure I would have been able to handle more of that! Even though I really did wanna smack Jace for like 60% of this book. To my surprise - although Simon irritated me in the beginning - I actually didn't mind him for the rest of the book and I really loved how he turned the tables on Raphael in the end there!

This one had some really good action, some really shocking scenes that I didn't see coming or that I just didn't remember happening and I loved that. I do find that the endings feel very "meh" though, like the action scenes happen but instead of ending on a cliffhanger, it kind of all gets wrapped up in this nice little bow until the next book. I think I would prefer it ended on a shock factor to keep me excited? Other than that, I still loved it - even though it doesn't feel like the Cassandra Clare I know yet, I still enjoy the writing and of course, this world will always be so cool!

Thanks for the buddy read bestie, @the_bookbasket ✨ 

I really think this book deserves 5 stars, but the INCEST. I could not get past it.

Love more Simon and Alec/Magnus book time

now, everyone knows i’m a city of fallen angels girlie, BUT rereading this one is making me want to change my favourite, BECAUSE the angst, the trouble, the sadness! i just love the mortal instruments so much

this was an exhausting book to get through - trashy YA but emphasis on the trashy
