so many great things about this. by far the greatest ? Jem Carstairs and everything he does in this book.
I absolutely love Tessa & Jem! This collection of short stories was really enjoyable since it had them at its center.
We get to see them though the years, as well as many of the other Shadowhunter characters that have been introduced to us along the way.

4/5
Me gustó mucho el libro, cuesta muchos de los huevos de la última saga, y también nos introduce a las nuevas. Disfrute mucho leerlo, sin embargo si hubo dos historias que le costó terminas, sólo por ello, para mí, no son 5 estrellas

honestly I was just here for the jessa content and the mentions of Will herondale and I was satisfied with that
no but seriously these novellas were really enjoyable! I love that cassie is setting up for the wicked powers and that comes through a little bit but there’s also bigger hints at the last hours and of course references to the already completed series.
I do tend to like Cassie’s novels more because she has more room for development and stuff but these are really great snapshots into what we’ll be exploring in the upcoming series so it is really exciting.
but also I was really just here for the many mentions of Will herondale, all of which broke me. particularly:
- “I thought I would walk with you a little way, my parabatai.” “How far?” asked Jem. Will smiled. “Need you ask? I will go with you as far as I possibly may.”
-“There was a lightness in Jem’s chest that he realized, finally, was joy. He saw that joy mirrored in his parabatai’s face. The face of the one you love is the best mirror of all. It shows you your own happiness and your own pain and it helps you to bear both, because to bear either alone is to be overwhelmed by the flood...The night was very beautiful and warm, and they were both young.”
in conclusion: nothing has changed and I would still die for William Herondale!

I am rather new to the shadow hunter universe and are reading the books probably not in the "right" order. But I enjoyed it very much to get some more backstory on things I already read about in Chain of Gold and Chain of Iron and I am now intrigued to read all the other books and get to know these characters better.
By the way, I don't mind spoilers at all, so my way of reading out of order works well for me.

This story shows us Ty at the Scholomance and the POV we get is from Livvy. Through her we get a look at Ty's life at the Scholomance, some insight into Idris, and we see Jem and Tessa. Livvy is slowly testing her limits and getting used to her new way of being.
A boy, a Carpathian lynx, and a ghost.
I loved reading about Livvy so much, and my heart broke for her situation once again. Ty has been one of my favorite characters from the Dark Artifices and I was happy to see him again. This story was a nice way to see how some of the characters are currently doing and to get me once again excited for The Wicked Powers. I still very much hate Zara and Manuel but can't wait to see how their part of the storyline will go.
While this wasn't my favorite story out of all of them, it was a very enjoyable one. I'm happy it got included in the physical version and I for sure want to get a copy soon.
Merged review:
This last story is about two families, one being Tessa, Jem, Kit and baby Mina and the other Ash and Thule Jace (who now goes by the most stupid name ever; Janus). We switch between POV and these storylines but I was very invested in both stories.
Memories were like love: wound and cure, both at once.
I loved seeing Jem as a dad, I didn't think I could love him more but it turns out I can!! This story just makes it very clear that he is one of the best characters in this whole world. Kit is another favorite of mine and I loved seeing him be at home with Jem and Tessa. You can clearly tell they all love each other and it was great seeing Kit realize that. He deserves this so much!
Reading about Janus left me with mixed feelings. I kinda hate his character, but at the same time I can't help but feel for him. He is what Jace would've turned into if Clary had died. And can you really blame him for wanting her back? He lost basically everyone and all he has now is Ash. I did really like his relationship with Ash and I can't wait to get to know Ash better. He will be such an interesting character and will probably bring an interesting storyline!
This story just did a lot of things to my heart! It was filled with love over Jem, Tessa and Kit (and Mina of course) but all of the Thule stuff broke it over and over again. Also, the Lily part was amazing! I just might listen to this story again soon. The bindup ends on a great note and like I said before, I simply can't wait for The Wicked Powers!
