This one doesn't even have the "Big bad got defeated but everyone's unhappy anyway." pattern. It's just sadness all around and I hate that this is a norm in this whole series.

A diferencia de Lady Midnight este libro me pareció bastante más crudo y desolador, me gusta que los personajes, especialmente Julian, se manejen en una moralidad gris casi todo el tiempo y nos terminemos cuestionando nuestra propia moral.

No me termina de cerrar la historia de Diana (i mean, entiendo y apoyo la representación LGBT but seriously? Lo sentí un poco forzado). Y banco mucho mucho la relación Cristina-Kieran-Mark, si no terminan juntos me lastimo (no es literal, es un decir)

En otro tema: Leo todo lo de Cassandra Clare porque me gustan mucho sus historias y personajes, su habilidad de crear mundos increíbles que podrían existir, pero que jamás nos enteraríamos pues somos simples mundanos (el universo del Downworld y los Shadowhunters es mi favorito del mundo ficción), pero (y es un gran pero) su obsesión con el incesto me preocupa mucho.
