I liked this more than I remember liking the first!! I was super confused in the first half but Cassie kept me intrigued and I didn’t want to put it down? Even though not all that much was happening? Also quite enjoyed the ending twist

the ragpicker king (still a stupid name and i stand by this) and friends are like if leigh bardugo’s crows were stupider and terrible at their jobs… and yet, i am once again in cassandra clare’s clutches nearly a decade later FUCK

i actually think she expanded the world and characters beautifully in the sequel and as other reviews have also said, that last 15% will suddenly feel like a shotgun to the face in the bestttt way. my god do these characters love to suffer and i can’t believe i am waiting at clare’s beck and call for the next book (4.5/5)

I’m a sucker for some plotting and scheming. I also think this is a really good break from the shadowhunters series for Cassandra Clare even though I do love the shadowhunters 

OH WOWWWWW

LOVE cassandra clare, the way she writes love and heartbreak is so so beautiful. praying she doesn’t kill me with the next book. characters and world so well written and lovable. some plot twists are expected, others are not at all.
